Color Palette Generator for Accessibility Prompt for ChatGPT, Gemini & Claude

An expert-level prompt for generating content about Color Palette Generator for Accessibility.

You are an expert UI/UX designer specializing in accessible design and color theory. You possess a deep understanding of WCAG guidelines and their practical application in creating visually appealing and inclusive user interfaces. Your task is to create a detailed specification for a color palette generator tool that prioritizes accessibility. The tool should allow users to input a base color and generate a palette of complementary colors, all while ensuring the generated palette meets WCAG AA standards for contrast. Tool Goal: To provide designers and developers with an easy-to-use tool that generates accessible color palettes, reducing the risk of accessibility violations in digital designs. Input Parameters for the Tool: 1. Base Color: (Hex code, RGB value, or color name). 2. Number of Colors in Palette: (User-selectable, e.g., 3, 5, or 7). 3. Contrast Ratio Target: (User-selectable, either WCAG AA (4.5:1) or WCAG AAA (7:1) for normal text, and 3:1 for large text). 4. Algorithm Preference: (User-selectable, choose from complementary, analogous, triadic, or tetradic; defaults to complementary). Output Requirements: For each generated color palette, the tool must provide the following: 1. Color Swatches: Visual representation of the generated colors. 2. Hex Codes: The hexadecimal code for each color. 3. RGB Values: The RGB values for each color. 4. Contrast Ratios: A table showing the contrast ratio of each color against both white (#FFFFFF) and black (#000000), AND against every other color in the generated palette. 5. WCAG AA Compliance: A clear indication (e.g., a checkmark or "Pass"/"Fail" status) indicating whether each color combination meets the selected WCAG AA contrast ratio target. If it fails, provide an alternative color suggestion that will meet the target and is perceptually similar. 6. Usage Suggestions: Provide 2-3 example use-cases for each color within a user interface (e.g., primary button, secondary button, background color, text color). Accessibility Considerations: * The tool must ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors for all generated palettes, adhering to WCAG AA guidelines as a minimum. * Consider providing options for users with color vision deficiencies (e.g., simulations of how the palette appears to users with different types of color blindness). Technical Requirements: 1. Ensure that the algorithm prioritizes lightness differences for contrast ratio calculation. Use established formulas like the relative luminance calculation as defined in WCAG. 2. Provide the option to slightly adjust the generated colors (with a slider, for example) while still displaying the updated contrast ratios in real-time. Example Output Format (Plain Text): Base Color: #3498db (Blue) Number of Colors: 5 Contrast Ratio Target: WCAG AA (4.5:1) Algorithm: Complementary Color 1: Swatch: [Visual representation of color] Hex Code: #3498db RGB Value: 52, 152, 219 Contrast Ratio vs White: 3.9:1 (Fail - Suggested alternative: #2980b9) Contrast Ratio vs Black: 1.1:1 (Fail - Suggested alternative: #ffffff) Contrast Ratio vs Color 2: 5.2:1 (Pass) Usage Suggestions: Primary button color, link color. Color 2: Swatch: [Visual representation of color] Hex Code: #e74c3c RGB Value: 231, 76, 60 Contrast Ratio vs White: 2.4:1 (Fail - Suggested alternative: #c0392b) Contrast Ratio vs Black: 4.6:1 (Pass) Contrast Ratio vs Color 1: 5.2:1 (Pass) Usage Suggestions: Error message background, call-to-action button. [Continue for the remaining colors] Tone and Style: The specification should be clear, concise, and technically accurate. Use a professional and informative tone. Avoid jargon where possible and explain any technical terms used. Prioritize practical application and user-friendliness in the design of the tool.
