The Import Chain Opens Below

[Color guide — coloring.today / the-import-chain-opens-below]
Apply this palette to the design requested above. Preserve the requested layout, content, and interactions. If an explicit requirement conflicts with this color guide, identify the conflict instead of silently overriding it.

Text: Root Ink #102A23
Primary: Hidden Violet #A18BA8
Highlight: Path Blue #86A1B8
Accent: Depth Olive #46512F
Background: Trace Paper #D9CBC6

Mood: A layered package graph where violet nodes reveal one muted blue import path at a time
Suggested uses: Developer tools
Application note: Use Trace Paper for the graph canvas, Root Ink for breadcrumbs and all ordinary labels, Hidden Violet for package nodes and the drawer header, Path Blue for the selected dependency chain, and Depth Olive for collapsed-count badges and secondary branch states. Put Trace Paper text on olive and keep Root Ink labels on violet and blue nodes. Outline blue paths and selected nodes in Root Ink; blue on the canvas is only about 1.71:1.
Avoid: Root Ink on Depth Olive measures only 1.80:1 and fails both normal- and large-text thresholds. Use Trace Paper on Depth Olive instead at about 5.37:1. Do not communicate import direction, node selection, or collapsed state through color alone; add arrowheads, outlines, and text or chevron cues.
Use approximately 56% background, 30% primary, and 14% highlight across large surfaces. These ratios are a starting point, not a rigid rule. Use text and accent colors according to their roles.

Keep the original HEX values. Choose readable text/background pairings without silently changing the palette. Do not introduce unrelated colors.

:root {

Background is the canvas, text is readable copy, primary is a key surface, highlight draws attention, and accent adds small secondary details.

Text/background contrast: 9.66:1. This is one measured pair, not a guarantee for the whole palette. Check every actual text/background pairing against WCAG AA. Prefer readable combinations from the original colors, keep visible keyboard focus, and never communicate state through color alone. If no original pairing meets the requirement, propose a separately labeled derived color with its original HEX, proposed HEX, purpose and measured contrast. Never overwrite the source palette.
