Description

Talking on the usace-groundwork-water call we were discussing this issue:

We were wondering if it made more sense to push these into groundwork and have established colors we can select from in [tailwind(https://github.com/USACE/groundwork/blob/main/tailwind.config.js#L17).

These would be generic that could be used for a variety of purposes: Toast messages, table status alerts, notification count, etc

Open to suggestions on the colors but it was brought up that USACE may already have these standards defined.

508 compliance comes to mind in regards to visual considerations and color blindness.

@MikeNeilson I thought at one time you showed me a website that provided recommended colors?

Research the referenced USACE standards and assess the 508 and color-blindness considerations before proposing a palette. Done means the color standard and its intended uses are agreed and reflected in the project configuration.
