Did Stripe ever release their color tool from stripe.com/blog/accessibl…? Or is there anything similar out there for building more accessible color palettes?

@aweary@SlexAxton@asolove@stripe once you have that information for each color in a spectrum, you can use those points to create a shape to illustrate the boundary for imaginary colors
@boop@sambreed@whoop@cathydinas@goop after seconds of reading past @goop tweets the only thing I’ve learned is the word “colorstrology” and I plan to co-opt it immediately
this is a tragedy where has @goop gone
I referenced the common borrowed-javascript-mantra of "worse is better" to @koop at work today, and he shared with me this hilarious and rude opening line on the wikipedia entry for the concept.

@ninamehta@wilsonminer@Medium@stripe@stubailo@simmy@majelbstoat We’d love to be able to share it in the future! There’s some non-trivial work to make the tool generally useful to other teams—it’s currently tailored to solve some very specific problems and makes a bunch of assumptions about our color system. I hope we can get there 😄
Today, @wilsonminer and I wrote about our work on Stripe’s color systems over the past couple years. I’m so excited to share some of what we’ve learned along the way.
@NatDudley@wilsonminer@stripe@Una Nice! Honing our palettes for dataviz-specific use cases is definitely on the list of things we’re looking to improve as well 🙂
@wilsonminer@NatDudley@stripe@Una Interestingly enough, the web content accessibility guidelines focus on contrast because people see color in so many different ways. If you’re feeling nerdy, the guidelines talk about this trade-off here: #visual-audio-contrast-contrast-73-head" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDI…
@wilsonminer@NatDudley@stripe@Una Agreed! We also try not to rely on color alone to convey information in our interfaces, and instead support colors with icons and words.
