Colors
From the voraus style guide. Three primaries, available under the guide's own names:
| Property | Guide name | Value |
|---|---|---|
--voraus-color-violet | Violet | #E133FF |
--voraus-color-blue | VI/TUR | #6A85E1 |
--voraus-color-turquoise | Turquoise | #00CFC6 |
None of the three has enough contrast to carry text on a light background. Use them for surfaces, borders and gradients.
Body links use a darkened Violet (#C800EB in light mode, #E133FF in dark) because links are
text and the brand value falls below WCAG AA on white.
Gradients
The guide defines three, and they are not interchangeable:
| Property | Guide name | Reserved for |
|---|---|---|
--voraus-gradient-full | FULL GRADIENT | The logo and other significant elements |
--voraus-gradient-vi | VI/ GRADIENT | Graphical elements |
--voraus-gradient-tur | /TUR GRADIENT | Graphical elements |
If you are decorating something, use one of the last two:
.my-callout {
border-image: var(--voraus-gradient-tur) 1;
}
The theme uses the full gradient in exactly one place: the rule under the navbar.
Signal colors
The guide's four, wired into Docusaurus admonitions. See Writing content for how to use them.
| Admonition | Value |
|---|---|
:::danger | #DA3939 |
:::warning | #F38A2B |
:::tip | #0BB570 |
:::info | #72AFCD |
These are the published brand values. Three of them fall below the contrast WCAG asks of a non-text indicator on white, a deliberate choice in favor of the brand. The text inside an admonition is unaffected, since its contrast is measured against the tinted box.
Secondary palette
Nine more colors are available for site use:
--voraus-color-vi-tur-dark: #38416c;
--voraus-color-vi-tur-blue: #4a568f;
--voraus-color-vi-tur-grey: #7d8bbc;
--voraus-color-vi-tur-bright: #ebefff;
--voraus-color-grey-blue-dark: #323c46;
--voraus-color-grey-blue-bright: #7a8490;
--voraus-color-grey: #c9cdd1;
--voraus-color-beige: #e8e8e8;
--voraus-color-bright: #f7f7f7;
They are not wired into Docusaurus' own greys, so using one is always a deliberate choice.
