Description
Most color palettes collapse if you've got a strong redshift/nightshift color filter actively suppressing green and blue channels. I made one that doesn't.Ember has terminal, chart, heatmap, and UI palettes designed and tested to be as distinguishable as possible under both the redshift & non-redshift condition... so no more duplicate color appearances (or worse yet, disappearing colors!).

Could you build this?
Yes This is a curated collection of color palettes optimized for redshift/nightshift filters, requiring mostly design choices, CSS/theme definitions, and a simple showcase site.

Concerns raised: README documentation unclear and AI-generated, hard to read, Naming collision with 'redshift' from physics vs OS features, May not work well with actual physical redshift (frequency multiplication vs dimming), Confusing what the project is actually intended for
Feature requests: Add example webpages with live demos showing color palettes in action, Improve README with clearer narrative and human touch, Add table of contents for better navigation
