I hear you. Not in love with those particular colors either. I need (a) 5 light + 5 dark colors (b) that are pairwise discernible when next to each other and (c) don't get confused immediately with Apple's Activity rings. That last (c) unfortunately rules out many popular open/free color schemes from charting libraries I know.
I'm no expert on colors (nor typography), so will gladly take input from anyone more proficient than me.
I’d just use the system color palette. I would be surprised if users confuse your design with Activity.
The “Live” label looks like a Claudism. For the rest, you should be fine when you use the semantic fonts + size presets provided by Apple. They also set decent values for tracking depending on size and will react to global a11y size settings.
I will definitely look into these improvements, especially the fonts and the "live" badge. For the colors, I'm unsure; I played around a lot with those already and quite used to them by now, but who knows. Thank you for your detailed feedback and the specific suggestions!
Thanks for taking the time to point out the impression. I have rewritten it more casually.
Color scheme and typography also scream Claude. But nice idea.
Thanks!
