Color System

Color provides an intuitive way of communicating information to users in your app, it can be used to indicate interactivity, give feedback to user actions, and give your interface a sense of visual continuity.

Colors are primarily determined by accent color and theme. Here we'll discuss how you can use color in your app, how to use accent color(Primary & Secondary color) and theme resources to make your app usable in any theme context.

Best practices

  • Use color meaningfully. When color is used sparingly to highlight important elements, it can help create a user interface that is fluid and intuitive.

  • Use color to indicate interactivity. It's a good idea to choose one color to indicate elements of your application that are interactive. For example, many web pages use blue text to denote a hyperlink.
