Abstract. We consider the Pauli grading of the Lie algebra sl(2, C) and sl(3, C). We use a concept of graded contractions to construct non-isomorphic Lie algebras of dimension 3 and 8. We overview methods used to solve the system of contraction equations and to distinguish the results. We show how the symmetry group of the Pauli gradings simplify this task. We present a short overview of resulting Lie algebras. Complete results will be published elsewhere.
