Each Web Awesome palette defines seven literal colors each with 11 lightness values using the format `--wa-color-{hue}-{tint}`.
Each Web Awesome palette defines eight literal colors each with 11 lightness values using the format `--wa-color-{hue}-{tint}`.
Additionally, the "core" (most vibrant) color of each scale is mapped to `--wa-color-{hue}`.

## Bounded Core Colors
In addition to the literal color scales above and their core colors,
we also define variables for "bounded" core colors, which resolve to the core color of the hue's scale,
but clamped to a specific tint.
This is useful for using core colors while ensuring a minimum contrast ratio with other colors in your theme.
### Upper Bound Core Colors
These variables resolve to the core color as long as it is equal or below the specified tint,
and to the specified tint otherwise.
{% set tints_clamped = ['40', '50', '60', '70'] %}
<table class="colors bounded">
<thead>
<tr>
<th></th>
<th class="core-column">Core tint</th>
{% for tint in tints_clamped -%}
<th>max-{{ tint }}</th>

These variables resolve to the core color as long as it is at least at the specified tint,
and to the specified tint otherwise.
