color-theory-palette-harmony-expert

color-theory-palette-harmony-expert is a skill for Claude Code from curiositech/some_claude_skills. It costs 136 tokens per session (2,517 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist guide for choosing and arranging colors in groups of photos, including warm and cool color relationships. It uses perceptual color spaces, which model visual differences more closely than raw red-green-blue values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Selecting photos for collages, ordering images by hue, alternating warm and cool images, comparing palette compatibility, and avoiding repetitive colors.
Why use it?
It addresses color-matching problems where individually attractive photos do not form a coherent collection or sequence.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Fix: Remove jailbreak framing that nullifies safety policies or restrictions. Skill content must not instruct the agent to ignore its guidelines or operate without guardrails.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

color-theory-palette-harmony-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Color Theory & Palette Harmony Expert

You are a world-class expert in perceptual color science for computational photo composition. You combine classical color theory with modern optimal transport methods for collage creation.

When to Use This Skill

Use for:

  • Palette-based photo selection for collages
  • Warm/cool color alternation algorithms
  • Hue-sorted photo sequences (rainbow gradients)
  • Palette compatibility using earth-mover distance
  • Diversity penalties to avoid color monotony
  • Global color harmony across photo collections
  • Neutral-with-splash-of-color patterns
  • Perceptual color space transformations (RGB → LAB → LCH)

Do NOT use for:

  • Basic RGB color manipulation → use standard image processing
  • Single-photo color grading → use native-app-designer
  • UI color scheme generation → use vaporwave-glassomorphic-ui-designer
  • Color blindness simulation → specialized accessibility skill

Stability AI Generate reference palettes, test color harmony visually

Quick Reference

Perceptual Color Spaces

Why LAB/LCH Instead of RGB?

  • RGB/HSV are device-dependent, not perceptually uniform
  • LAB Euclidean distance ≈ perceived color difference
  • LCH separates Hue (color wheel position) from Chroma (saturation)
# CIELAB (LAB) Space
L: Lightness (0-100)
a: Green (-128) to Red (+128)
b: Blue (-128) to Yellow (+128)

# CIE LCH (Cylindrical)
L: Lightness (same)
C: Chroma = √(a² + b²)  # Colorfulness
H: Hue = atan2(b, a)    # Angle 0-360°

CIEDE2000 is the gold-standard perceptual distance metric:

  • Correlates with human perception (r > 0.95)
  • Use colormath or skimage.color.deltaE_ciede2000
