Body text in the muted colour: contrast is measured for this pairing, on the page and on muted surfaces.
Menus and dialogs open outside the preview, so they are left out. In your app they follow the same tokens.
Use it
$ pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @ballmac/theme-graphiteThis is the Graphite preset, so it installs by name. The command writes the tokens into your globals.css.
Contrast
32 of 32 checks pass
Every text and graphic pairing the components use, measured against WCAG: 4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for focus rings and chart colours. The builder moves lightness for you, so the result stays readable at any hue.
