About the Obsidian Dark palette
A specialized dark-mode canvas and border palette ranging from oklch(0.12 0 0) to oklch(0.35 0 0) for pristine zero-distortion dark UIs. The scale is anchored at hue 260 in OKLCH, so every step keeps the same hue while lightness moves in perceptually even steps from 50 to 950. The 500 step (#6d6f71) is your base color. Shades 500-950 pass WCAG 2.1 AA against white and shades 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 pass against black, so use the light end for backgrounds and the dark end for text on light surfaces (or vice versa). Each value is copy-ready as oklch(), HEX, RGB or HSL.
