UI/UX Style Guide
BY ANABELLA PAPUCCI
1) COLOURS
PRIMARY 60%
ACCENT 30%
SECONDARY 10%
Website Color Usage Guideline
Primary Color:
- It’s the main branding color
- Apply to main headlines
- Use in backgrounds
- Apply to icons
- Utilize in key visual elements to establish brand identity.
Secondary Color (optional):
- Look for a neutral/quiet tone (e.g. brown). I pretty much won’t use the secondary colour. It’s just for =<H3 and elements where the primary/accent don’t work well
- H3 and below.
- Use in backgrounds (it’s ok if both primary and secondary are used for backgrounds)
- Use for secondary buttons and other supporting UI elements.
- Enhance overall design balance and contrast.
Accent Color:
- Use for interactive elements like buttons and links to create contrast.
- Apply to icons (specially when they are related to CTA), badges, and other attention-grabbing elements.
Soft backgrounds:
- For backgrounds where white is too stark.
