Colours

Claromentis colour pallete is designed to be simple and accessible. It helps us create a consistent experience and helps to bridge the gap between product and marketing channels. The pallete can be used for the user interface as well as graphic assets like illustrations, animations and more.

The colour pallete consists of Semantic and Extended colours with Semantic colours having a specific intent. All the colours are designed to be complementary to each other.

Usage

Each colour consists of shades from 100 to 900.

⚪️GreyEnabled, Inactive, Hover, Text Labels

Text

In-product text is darker to emphasize readability and let user content stand out, while for our web and marketing channels text is lighter with greater variations to better reflect our branding.

Contrast

WCAG Level AAA requires a contrast ratio of at least 7:1 for normal text (copy) and 4.5:1 for large text (headings with at least 18pt or 14pt for bold text 1). Colour swatches display if white/black text has sufficient colour contrast with the respective colour. When developing code - care must be taken to check for common contract issues.

User interface elements that are inactive, used only for decoration and text that is part of a logo have no contrast requirement 1.
