Color
Canonical palette values and semantic roles.
HEX is the canonical screen reference. Formal identity colors belong to approved brand applications; interface cues communicate actions and states with words, icons, outlines, or attributes as well as color.
Formal identity colors
A color used in artwork is not automatically a warning or action cue.
| Color | HEX | Source | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glacial blue | #86BDF2 | brand.accent.bright | Mark and identity accent on dark surfaces |
| Deep glacial blue | #256DA9 | brand.accent.accessible | Mark and readable identity accent on light surfaces |
Approved combinations and artwork
| Application | Formal colors | Artwork | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insonic A1 | Glacial blue | logo.full | Three separated voice forms on dark surfaces |
Correct: use Deep glacial blue (#256DA9) in its approved identity application; pair the action cue (#256DA9) with a descriptive button or link label. Misuse: a lone identity swatch as the only action signal.
Interface cues on dark surfaces
A shared HEX value does not merge identity and interface roles. State meaning also requires the listed non-color cue.
| Cue | HEX | Meaning | Measured pairing | Non-color cue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Action | #256DA9 | Primary interactive action | #FFFFFF foreground, 5.47:1; 3.37:1 against #0C151B | A descriptive button or link label |
| Warning | #F2BE6E | Attention or recoverable risk | #000000 foreground, 12.37:1; 10.86:1 against #0C151B | Warning text and icon |
| Error | #F39494 | Failure or destructive action | #000000 foreground, 9.47:1; 8.32:1 against #0C151B | Error text and icon |
| Success | #77C9A8 | Completed operation | #000000 foreground, 10.70:1; 9.40:1 against #0C151B | Success text and icon |
| Information | #86BDF2 | Neutral information or help | #000000 foreground, 10.57:1; 9.29:1 against #0C151B | Information label and icon |
| Focus | #86BDF2 | Keyboard focus ring | #000000 foreground, 10.57:1; 9.29:1 against #0C151B | Visible outline and keyboard focus order |
| Selection | #86BDF2 | Selected control or item | #000000 foreground, 10.57:1; 9.29:1 against #0C151B | Selected label or checked state |
| Disabled | #86BDF2 | Unavailable control | #000000 foreground, 10.57:1; 9.29:1 against #0C151B | Disabled attribute and text |
Interface cues on light surfaces
A shared HEX value does not merge identity and interface roles. State meaning also requires the listed non-color cue.
