Ramp is sorted by WCAG relative luminance; the strip maps the 8 ANSI roles (base08–base0F).

Code sample

package main

import "fmt"

const (
	Version  = "1.2.0" // release
	MaxTries = 3
)

type Server struct {
	Host string
	Port int
}

func (s *Server) start(tls bool) error {
	addr := fmt.Sprintf("%s:%d", s.Host, s.Port)
	if tls {
		return listen(addr, 443)
	}
	return listen(addr, 80)
}

Each cell is the WCAG contrast ratio between the row color and the column color (darker cell = higher ratio). ≥4.5 passes AA for normal text, ≥7 passes AAA.
