Colour Scales explained

Colour scale guidance

Each colour in SDX unfolds across ten distinct hues, building a complete scale from 50 to 900. The progression begins with soft, airy tints at 50 and deepens gradually toward the rich, saturated tones of 900.

The palette is designed with accessibility in mind. The lighter half of the scale (50–500) is crafted to provide balanced backgrounds for the darkest hue (900) of the same colour scale, while the darker half (600–900) is suited to work as backgrounds with enough contrast for white content.

In practical use, the lightest hues (50 and 100) often serve as subtle background colours, creating space and calm.

The mid-range hues (200–700) bring structure and definition to borders, surfaces, and UI components.

Finally, the deepest tones (800 and 900) anchor the design, adding weight and clarity through typography, icons, and foundational page elements.

This scaling system ensures consistency and flexibility, giving every colour a defined role and a harmonious relationship across the interface.
