Remarks

The swatches are picked for this app, not a general palette: every one of them reads on the dark card the console and the notices are drawn on. Three rows of the same eight hues, from vivid to pastel, and a last row with the app's own defaults so going back to one is a click away.

Readability is the WCAG contrast ratio, the measure accessibility guidelines use: 21 for white on black, 1 for a colour on itself. Text wants 4.5; a mark that only has to be seen — a level's dot or badge — 3.
