colorize

A design review guide for introducing intentional color into interfaces that are overly gray, monochromatic, or visually flat. It requires considering the audience, product use cases, brand tone, and existing brand colors first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find suitable places for color in a frontend design and decide how it should support hierarchy, warmth, and personality.
Why use it?
It helps add visual interest without choosing colors that conflict with the product or brand.

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

colorize 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to colorize — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Strategically introduce color to designs that are too monochromatic, gray, or lacking in visual warmth and personality.

MANDATORY PREPARATION

Context Gathering (Do This First)

You cannot do a great job without having necessary context, such as target audience (critical), desired use-cases (critical), brand personality/tone, and especially existing brand colors.

Attempt to gather these from the current thread or codebase.

  1. If you don't find exact information and have to infer from existing design and functionality, you MUST STOP and STOP and call the AskUserQuestionTool to clarify. whether you got it right.
  2. Otherwise, if you can't fully infer or your level of confidence is medium or lower, you MUST STOP and call the AskUserQuestionTool to clarify. clarifying questions first to complete your context.

Do NOT proceed until you have answers. Guessing leads to generic AI slop colors.

Use frontend-design skill

Use the frontend-design skill for design principles and anti-patterns. Do NOT proceed until it has executed and you know all DO's and DON'Ts.


Assess Color Opportunity

Analyze the current state and identify opportunities:

  1. Understand current state:

    • Color absence: Pure grayscale? Limited neutrals? One timid accent?
    • Missed opportunities: Where could color add meaning, hierarchy, or delight?
    • Context: What's appropriate for this domain and audience?
    • Brand: Are there existing brand colors we should use?
  2. Identify where color adds value:

    • Semantic meaning: Success (green), error (red), warning (yellow/orange), info (blue)
    • Hierarchy: Drawing attention to important elements
    • Categorization: Different sections, types, or states
    • Emotional tone: Warmth, energy, trust, creativity
    • Wayfinding: Helping users navigate and understand structure
    • Delight: Moments of visual interest and personality

If any of these are unclear from the codebase, STOP and call the AskUserQuestionTool to clarify.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
