Do

  • Rely on colors for impact and focus
  • Use interface-primary for primary actions and header treatment
  • Use interface-secondary for text color and background colors
  • Ensure text is legible on Interface colors (e.g. use interface-white text on interface-primary)

Don't

  • Use error styles on non-blocking actions
  • Use interface-secondary-xx-light for text (it doesn’t meet our minimum contrast ratio of 4.5).

Accessibility
