[IDEA] palette collections

[CITguy]

It makes sense that you could programmatically generate multiple DSPs (one per theme), but there are times where I would like to define smaller, focused palettes based on theme colors.

Example: Data Visualization

Say I have the following themes:

• Light
• Light (high contrast)
• Dark
• Dark (high contrast)

I would like to define a set of consistently named palettes for each theme, so that I can apply a palette to a project asset in a way that I can swap out the theme, but retain the applied palette.

Examples palettes may be:

• "bright" - base colors (e.g., Red 500, Blue 500, Green 500, etc.)
• "dim" - low saturation colors (e.g., Red 100, Blue 100, Green 100, etc.)
• "warm" - monochrome set of Reds or Oranges
• "cool" - monochrome set of Blues or Cyans
• "grayscale"
• etc.

I would expect the following to happen:

GIVEN I am using the "Light" theme,
WHEN I apply the "bright" palette to a chart
AND I switch to the "Dark" theme,
THEN the client should apply the "bright" palette from the "Dark" theme to the same chart.

• client: an application, plugin, extension, etc. that consumes a DSP and applies it to project assets
• colors (a.k.a. "global palette"): set of token entities of "type": "color"
• palette: collection entity of "type": "palette"
  • a subset of colors in the global palette
