Color use

When creating a layout, the logo should be the primary object that informs the rest of the layout. Once the logo is placed, add appropriate colors keeping in mind that our vibrant colors can quickly become visually overwhelming.

Color misuse

Color should be used consistently to communicate a cohesive system.
Do not alter existing colors or add new colors to the palette. Use color to your advantage — and not to the detriment of a design.

Do not add new colors to the brand palette.
Do not use too many colors in a design.
Do not set text in a color that does not meet ADA requirements.
Do not use Sourcegraph primary blue, or any other brand colors that don’t meet ADA compliance for text or UI elements.
Do not saturate a design with color.
Do not set the logo on a color or gradient that does not have sufficient contrast.
