Color System

By JR Brugger (Design Workflow)

Build complete color palettes with accessible shades and dark/light mode variants.

Draw.io Diagrams

• Turns a plain-language description into an editable draw.io diagram
• Handles flowcharts, swimlanes, business process maps, mind maps, timelines, and system diagrams
• Checks the drawing for overlapping boxes, crossed lines, and unreadable labels
• Exports to PNG, SVG, or PDF while keeping the file editable
• Makes targeted edits to an existing diagram without wrecking its layout

Color System

• Generates full tonal scales (light to dark) for your brand colors
• Creates semantic color sets for success, warning, error, and info states
• Tests all color combinations for accessibility compliance (WCAG AA/AAA)
• Builds matching dark mode and light mode palettes
• Provides usage guidance for each color in your system
