Color Usage

The 80/15/5 rule: 80% neutral, 15% primary blue, 5% gold accent. This ratio keeps the interface clean while maintaining spiritual identity.

The Rule

80% Neutral
15% Blue
5%
  • Neutral (80%) — backgrounds, borders, text. This is the canvas.
  • Primary Blue (15%) — buttons, links, active states, focus rings. Guides the user.
  • Gold (5%) — brand accent only. Logo, special highlights, occasional badge. Never for CTAs.

Primary Blue

Do

Use primary blue for interactive elements: buttons, links, active nav items.

Don't

Este texto nao deveria ser azul

Don't use blue for static informational text or decorative elements.

Gold Accent

Do
Egbe Lajo

Use gold sparingly for brand identity — logo, special highlights, rare accents.

Don't

Don't use gold as the primary CTA color or for frequent UI elements.

Semantic Colors

Semantic colors (success, error, warning, info) are reserved for feedback states. Never use them decoratively.

Do
AtivoPendenteInativo

Use semantic colors to communicate status.

Don't

Don't use red/green for branding or decoration — reserve for UX feedback.

Backgrounds

Keep backgrounds light and neutral:

  • #FFFFFF — content areas, cards
  • #F7F8FA — page background, sections
  • #EEF1F5 — subtle dividers, skeleton loading

Avoid dark backgrounds. The design system is built for light mode. Dark backgrounds break the 80% neutral rule and the overall visual identity.
