 Color is organized by three main categories:
 
-- [Literal colors](/#literal-colors) that give familiar names to your starting [color palette](/docs/palettes/)
+- [Color scales](/#color-scales) that gives you a full spectrum of hues to work with
 - [Foundational colors](/#foundational-colors) that lay the groundwork for your theme
 - [Semantic colors](/#semantic-colors) that draw attention and convey meaning
 
 
-## Literal Colors
+## Color Scales
 
-Literal colors are defined by your theme's [color palette](/docs/palettes/) and are the lowest level color tokens in your theme. Each token is identified by a name, like red or gray, and a number based on the color's lightness. On this scale, 100 is equal to pure white and 0 is equal to pure black.
+Color scales are determined by your [color palette](/docs/color-palettes) and are made up of the lowest level color tokens in your theme. Each token is identified by a name, like red or gray, and numerical tint based on the color's lightness. On this scale, 100 is equal to pure white and 0 is equal to pure black.
 
-You can use these numbers to ensure accessible color contrast per [WCAG 2.1 success criteria](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#contrast-minimum):
+You can use these tints to ensure accessible color contrast per [WCAG 2.1 success criteria](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#contrast-minimum):
 
 - A difference of 40 ensures a minimum 3:1 contrast ratio, suitable for large text and icons (AA)
 - A difference of 50 ensures a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio, suitable for normal text (AA) and large text (AAA)
 - A difference of 60 ensures a minimum 7:1 contrast ratio, suitable for all text (AAA)

 ## Foundational Colors
 
 Foundational colors lay the groundwork for the content and structure of your project. These colors are named according to their role in your theme.
