Ds-kit contains a set of seven colors and a set of neutrals to create the visual impact associated with the datastory brand.
The lightest colors in the color palettes (color25) can be used as background colors. In cases where colored backgrounds are used, the text color should be the main text color (grey900) to meet accesibility standards.
<Lozenge />
componentSimilarly to backgrounds, Lozenges use the lightest shade of the respective color (color25). In this case however, the text color should correspond to color700 in the same color palette. For example, a blue lozenge would use blue25 for background and blue700 for text in order to meet accessibility standards. This doesn't apply to colored icons on light colored backgrounds, as they can usually be lighter than color700.
