Colors
#

Developing an effective and user-friendly color scheme can be a challenging task. The Vuestic UI component library aims to make this process simpler and more convenient by providing a versatile set of colors that are easy to customize and manage.

Color Palette
#

Vuestic UI library offers a color palette consisting of 14 colors. These colors are divided into accent colors, background colors, text colors and utility colors. By default, there are two color presets available: light and dark.

accent

Accent colors are used to highlight interactive elements such as buttons, links, and other interactive elements.

focus

Auto text color detection
#

With auto text color detection you don't need to worry about text readability. Vuestic UI library will automatically detect the best text color for you.

We use threshold property to detect if text should be dark or light. It used as a lightness value. If lightness value is less than threshold we assume it is dark background and text color must be light. Otherwise, text color must be dark.

threshold

In case threshold is not enough for you, you can set onPrimary, onSuccess, onBackgroundPrimary and other colors in colors config.

Customization
#

There is the flexibility to modify or expand upon the existing color set, as well as define own custom color presets. The color scheme can be applied globally using a Colors Config

createVuestic({
  config: {
    colors: {
      presets: {
        light: {
          primary: '#f0f0f0',
          myCoolColor: '#ff00ff',
          onMyCoolColor: '#ffffff',
        }
      }
    },
  },
})
