Colour Do & Don't

Rules for harmonious and accessible colour execution.

ICT Highlight Token
ELV Active Status
Use calibrated tint backgrounds. Light tinted chips (15% opacity) provide high contrast and crisp legibility for colored labels.
Low Contrast Body Text
Unreadable White on Lime
Do not set light text on bright saturated primaries. White text on lime or light sky fails WCAG AA contrast standards.
