Colors

Overview

The BigDesign color system has five palette types named semantically for their use across the application. The color system is derived from the BigCommerce brand and provides a consistent user experience for our merchants and partners.

BigDesign uses color tokens to manage colors within each palette and are named for their role or hierarchy in the palette. Color tokens improve communication between design and development and establish an organized use of color in the BigCommerce application.

Accent

Accent colors are used for interactions or to denote an interaction has taken place. Common accent uses include buttons, icons, navigation, links and selections. Use accent colors sparingly to avoid confusion.
