Simplified Ableton Push Color Palette

A simplified Push color palette for building custom devices. Designed to maximize contrast so different colors can be distinguished easily.

Also see more comprehensive color map @ https://gist.github.com/adamjmurray/21d7d3ae1f2ef8c66a19

For more information on how to set Push colors in User Mode, see Julien Bayle's guide @ http://julienbayle.net/ableton-push/#usermode

Here's an even more stripped-down high-contract palette. This is probably what I will use in practice. "HI" means bright. "LO" means dim.

BLACK = 0

WHITE_HI = 3
WHITE_LO = 1

RED_HI = 120
RED_LO = 7

ORANGE_HI = 60
ORANGE_LO = 10

YELLOW_HI = 13
YELLOW_LO = 15

GREEN_HI = 21
GREEN_LO = 23

CYAN_HI = 33
CYAN_LO = 35

BLUE_HI = 45
BLUE_LO = 47

INDIGO_HI = 49
INDIGO_LO = 51

VIOLET_HI = 53
VIOLET_LO = 55
