Colors

A collection of colors and color aliases for use across the design system and components.


Accessibility

The colors in this design system must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines (a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1) for 14px to 16px text/icons.

Color tokens

The following color tokens are provided by the design system. Each color token may have one or more aliases. Using color aliases is preferred because it allows the design system to be extended in a consistent way.
