Beyond aesthetics, color plays a critical role in communicating meaning, establishing hierarchy, and improving readability. However, relying solely on color to convey information can create accessibility barriers, particularly for users with color blindness or low vision.

This section provides guidelines on color usage, contrast, and accessibility to help create a visually cohesive and inclusive design system.

Color Roles & Application

A structured color system helps maintain clarity and ensures that colors are applied consistently across UI elements. Typical color roles include:

• Primary Colors: The core brand colors used for key actions and highlights.

• Secondary Colors: Supporting colors that complement the primary palette.

• Text & Background Colors: Colors optimized for readability and contrast.

• Feedback Colors: Colors used for system messages like success, warning, and error states.

By defining clear color roles, you create a system that is scalable, accessible, and easy to maintain, ensuring consistency across products and touchpoints.

A well-balanced color palette improves both usability and aesthetics, making the interface visually engaging while keeping it functional for all users.
