Steel Carries the Next Batch

[Color guide — coloring.today / steel-carries-the-next-batch]
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: Stamp Black #17191A
Primary: Finished Metal #D9DBDA
Highlight: Signal Green #32D05B
Accent: Handoff Violet #9574B5
Background: Steel Deck #858A8C

Mood: Coated steel, machined edges, a labeled batch signal, and a time-stamped workshop handoff
Suggested uses: Data dashboards
Application note: Use Steel Deck for the dashboard, Stamp Black for essential copy, Finished Metal for completed-batch and tray panels, Signal Green as a labeled completion surface, and Handoff Violet as a next-owner card carrying Stamp Black. Never rely on color alone for machine state.
Avoid: All four Stamp Black text pairs pass normal-size AA, but Handoff Violet is close at 4.57:1 and requires the original HEX values at full opacity. Handoff Violet and Steel Deck are only 1.10:1 apart, so operational states need labels, shapes, and dark boundaries.
Use approximately 58% background, 29% primary, and 13% 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.

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: 5.05:1. 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.
