Have you checked out grayscale.design?
You can generate a color palette using luminance (aka color values). This way you could design in grayscale to nail the contrast and then easily swap in colors of those same values without messing up your contrast ratios.
Today I Learned.

Just Few corrections,
in the UI graphics category, column 1, typo: DwarKit -> DrawKit
Under icons : IconBros url doesnt work. 502 Error
Under mockups: You cant use ShotBot unless you have an existing account. You cant create a new account currently.
