Tools of PickShade color tools
	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`audit_palette`Check every text and background pair in a palette with WCAG 2 and APCA, list which pairs are safe for body text, large text or only decoration, find colors that people with color blindness cannot tell apart, and flag colors outside sRGB. Use it before shipping a theme or chart palette.

`build_system`Build a full color system from a brand color: 50–950 scales for primary, secondary, accent, neutral and status colors, light and dark theme roles, exported as a Tailwind v4 theme, CSS variables, shadcn/ui globals.css or DTCG tokens, with a contrast audit of text and surface pairs.

`check_contrast`Check text contrast against a background with both WCAG 2 (ratio, AA and AAA for normal and large text) and APCA (Lc value and the usage level it allows).
