I would like to create two of my own color schemes where I choose **all** the color variables (I don’t like the computed/transformed values).

Is there a reference for this? The example json file in this post:

> [@Create and share a color scheme](https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-and-share-a-color-scheme/61196):
>
> Discourse now supports importing color schemes from remote repository. Here I will demonstrate how you would go about doing this. Navigate to colors and add a color scheme. Head to /admin/customize/colors on your site and create a color scheme. Tips: I used a chrome plugin ([color picker](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/colorpick-eyedropper/ohcpnigalekghcmgcdcenkpelffpdolg?hl=en)) to select colors from an existing image of a palette on the web. If you create a theme, assign the color scheme to the theme and preview it, chang…

Only has a few of the values listed (seems like the ones that are customizable by default through the admin panel). Whereas some color schemes I’ve seen like the WCAG ones, expose a few more of the variables.

This post talked about creating a plugin for advanced color customization: [Customizing colors - #10 by awesomerobot](https://meta.discourse.org/t/customizing-colors/85842/10)

But I don’t think that’s necessary, if it would be possible to just have a reference json file with all the named color variables that can be overridden, bypassing the computed values.
