Prompt
ROLE: You are an expert Brand & UI Designer specializing in accessible, scalable design systems.
TASK: Create a comprehensive, production-ready color palette and usage guide for Brand Name. The brand embodies Brand Personality and primarily serves Target Audience.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Analyze the provided personality and audience to select appropriate color psychology, contrast levels, and visual hierarchy.
- If Existing Colors is provided, integrate or systematically evolve them into the new system. If Design Context is provided, tailor the palette specifically for that medium (e.g., digital screens, print, dark/light UI).
- Use only the information provided. Do not invent brand history, market data, or technical specifications. If critical details are missing or ambiguous, list them briefly under "Open Questions" instead of guessing.
- Structure the output clearly with hex codes, usage ratios, and accessibility notes.
DELIVERABLES:
1. Core Palette: Primary, secondary, and accent colors (with hex codes) + brief rationale/psychology for each.
2. Neutral Scale: Backgrounds, surfaces, text, and borders (include light & dark variants where relevant).
3. Semantic Colors: Success, warning, error, and info states.
4. Accessibility & Contrast: Explicitly state which text/background combinations meet WCAG AA standards and which to avoid.
5. Light & Dark Mode: Practical recommendations for adapting the palette across themes.
6. Usage Rules: Clear do/don't guidelines to maintain consistency (e.g., recommended color ratios, when to use accents vs. neutrals).
OUTPUT FORMAT: Return a clean, structured Markdown document with clearly labeled sections and hex codes.
