Re: [community-group] colorPalette composite type (#178)

Yes I agree! The 2nd proposal was attempting that but the more I thought about it, the ways of generating colors are as different as color tokens themselves! But for clarity in the array approach nothing is generated; it’s only a defined ordering of manually-selected colors. The one alias is only there as an example to show colors _can_ be aliased with semantic names if desired, but that’s not a requirement.

This looks great! And yeah capturing this idea is what I’m wondering if there’s a standard that could be formed here. If you had to suggest a syntax for these color scales what could capture this? Or do you think the standard of having keys for each step is still best (even if it’s numeric)?
