Color Usage Do: Always choose the Light Theme as the first choice for designing Porsche applications. Stick to the limited color set provided. Use accessibility-safe colors, i.e., neutral contrast high and neutral contrast medium, to guarantee optimal contrast. Play with darker/lighter grey shades to make an element stand out from the background or to set emphasis on it. Mix color themes within the application on rarely. Ensure a sufficient contrast ratio. Don't: Don't use neutral contrast low for displaying crucial information. Don't mix colors of different themes (e.g. primary-light with base-dark). Avoid adding new colors to the color palette.
