---
## 2. ORTHOGONALITY
**Question:** Are there overlapping or ambiguous semantic tokens?
### Potential Overlaps Identified
| Token A | Token B | Overlap | Resolution |
|---------|---------|---------|------------|
| `color.surface.raised` | `color.surface.overlay` | Both elevated | 🟡 NOTE: `raised` = cards/panels, `overlay` = dropdowns/menus. Distinct use cases. |
| `color.text.muted` | `color.text.secondary` | Both less prominent | 🟡 NOTE: `secondary` = descriptions, `muted` = placeholders/disabled. Distinct use cases. |
| `color.action.disabled` | `color.text.muted` | Both low-emphasis | 🟡 NOTE: `action.disabled` = disabled buttons, `text.muted` = placeholder text. Distinct contexts. |
### Ambiguity Check
| Token | Potential Ambiguity | Resolution |
|-------|---------------------|------------|
| `color.border.focus` | Used for all focus states? | ✅ Documented: input, button, select. Consistent. |
| `color.action.primary` | Brand color or action color? | 🟡 NOTE: If brand ≠ blue, `color.action.primary` and `color.brand.primary` diverge. Documented in token contracts. |
**ORTHOGONALITY VERDICT:** 🟡 PASS WITH NOTES
- 3 minor overlaps identified, all resolved by distinct use cases
- 1 ambiguity noted (brand vs action), documented in contracts
---
## 3. MINIMALITY
**Question:** Are there tokens that no component uses?

| `color.action.disabled` | Button | ✅ Used |
| `color.surface.default` | Input, Select | ✅ Used |
| `color.surface.raised` | Input, Select, Card | ✅ Used |
| `color.surface.overlay` | — | 🟡 UNUSED |

### Unused Tokens (9 total)
| Token | Reason | Recommendation |
|-------|--------|----------------|
| `color.action.secondary` | No secondary button variant yet | Keep — will be used for secondary buttons |
| `color.action.ghost` | No ghost button variant yet | Keep — will be used for ghost buttons |
| `color.surface.overlay` | No dropdown/menu component yet | Keep — will be used for Select dropdown, Modal |
| `color.surface.inverted` | No dark mode implementation yet | Keep — essential for dark mode |
| `color.text.link` | No Link component yet | Keep — will be used for Link component |
| `color.border.success` | No success state in current components | Keep — will be used for form validation |
| `color.status.success` | No success state in current components | Keep — will be used for validation, alerts |
| `color.status.warning` | No warning state in current components | Keep — will be used for alerts, validation |
| `color.status.info` | No info state in current components | Keep — will be used for alerts, tooltips |
**MINIMALITY VERDICT:** 🟡 PASS WITH NOTES
- 9 unused tokens identified
- All 9 are justified: either needed for upcoming components (Modal, Link, Alert) or for dark mode
- No tokens should be removed

- 0 new tokens needed
---
## OVERALL VERDICT
| Test | Result | Notes |
|------|--------|-------|
| Completeness | ✅ PASS | All states covered for all 4 components |
| Orthogonality | 🟡 PASS | 3 minor overlaps, 1 ambiguity, all documented |
| Minimality | 🟡 PASS | 9 unused tokens, all justified |
| Stability | ✅ PASS | 0 new tokens needed for next 4 components |
**RECOMMENDATION:** ✅ APPROVE with minor notes.
The Semantic Color System is stable enough to freeze. The 9 unused tokens are justified and will be used by upcoming components. The minor orthogonality notes are documented and do not block usage.
