Principles
-
Hierarchical
Color indicates which elements are interactive, how they relate to other elements, and their level of prominence. Important elements should stand out the most.
-
Legible
Text and import elements, like icons, should meet legibility standards when appearing on colored backgrounds.
-
Expressive
Show brand colors at memorable moments that reinforce your brand’s style.
