Balance

Testing lightness and saturation balance for Radix Colors

Lightness test

There are three categories of color: grays, colors, and bright colors. Within each section, all hues should be balanced across any given step. The colors are displayed in grayscale so we can focus on the lightness without being distracted by saturation.
