Colors ()

Color makes the visual design more consistent, provides meaning & adds brand identity to the interface. We have two types of colors: platform colors and brand specifc colors.

Naming

Chameleon's color system is designed to be unambigous and accessible. It comes in different themes per brand. Each brand is compromised of of brand specific colors (e.g., primary, secondary) and shared platform colors (e.g., greys, supportive blue).

Extended palettes

Every color, whether it's a brand or platform color, has an extended palette which consists of shades and tints. They come in handy for interactions and illustrations for our products.

Corresponding accessible text colors

Color lightness-to-darkness is consistent across color hues, so that every color 10–50 is accessible (4.5:1) on black, and every color 60–100 is accessible (4.5:1) on white.
