A consistent color palette is an essential asset in the communication resources of any design system.

Colors have a huge impact in a system. They define the visual identity, bring harmony, communicate, etc. Lexicon defines the following color palette that you are free to change for your own.

Primary colors

Primary colors define part of Lexicon's visual identity. These colors have been carefully chosen for how easily they can be combined and with accessibility in mind.
