Products that do what Syntax-highlighting with accessible color contrast does
Needed a syntax-highlighting theme for displaying code samples on our company blog, but found my favourite editor themes did not have WCAG-conformant color contrast. And the accessibility-focused themes I found didn't fit well with our site aesthetic. I'm sure there are such themes out there, but for our use I built these Measured Light & Dark schemes. Pleased with the results, so have open-sourced them and made them available to the base16 ecosystem. Happy theming!

I usually look up palettes and the UI comes out nice except some color pairs don't pass wcag color contrast and well - just isn't readable Ended up writing a tiny library that automatically nudges your text color just enough to pass AA or AAA, while keeping it visually similar to the original along with a color contrast linter so we can use it in CI Thought you guys might find it useful too, it's foss :>

I crawled lots of websites and extracted their color palettes (primary, secondary, etc) to build a searchable collection of website colors! It was a fun side-project and I learned a lot about color theory. Let me know what you think and what features you would like to see :) If you have any questions about the tech behind it, feel free to ask in the comments. Feedback is also greatly appreciated.
