#007ac2 and #004474 classes for Calcite-Web

Suggestion to add these colors as classes to the color guide.

If we cant... Is the goal to move away from using esri brand blues?

blues

nikolaswise commented 9 years ago

Brand blues are available as sass variables under the same names as https://github.com/Esri/Patterns-Color/blob/master/scss/variables.scss and can all be used when writing sass.

We decided to expose a simple set of calcite colors to keep in line with the idea that this framework is a simple way to implement calcite.

A small amount of sass or css can take care of this.

@paulcpederson What do you think about adding esri brand color helper classes? @bstifle Where would you envision these brand color helper classes being implemented?

bstifle commented 9 years ago

Ok great! This is really helpful. Sorry, still getting used to the parameters with this. Doing a fairly large style guide for Esri Support.

We use these colors on a majority of pages on esri.com, which is why I was wondering if we were trying to move away from it or not. Buttons, links, hovers, etc. I'm probably not answering your question haha

@bstifle No worries! We've been embedded deep in this project for what seems like a year - so I understand the weirdness of getting involved. I appreciate the effort your making tho and dont want to scare you off from opening issues!

This is a pretty key question actually - is are these properties going to use Esri Brand Blue or Calcite Blue? I've asked @CassidyB to help define this. My thought is that the move to the Calcite style necessitates using the Calcite color framework.

The esri brand colors would be used for ... direct messaging from esri I guess?

bstifle commented 9 years ago

@nikolaswise That makes sense. Not sure who would make that call. Seems like something Cassidy/Stefanie/Frank/James would need to thumbs up

nikolaswise commented 9 years ago

@fgarofalo10 is the Color King (kolor king? color cing?). What do you think Frank?

nikolaswise commented 9 years ago

also @kyle-03674

nikolaswise commented 9 years ago

Discussion with @kyle-03674 lead to the conclusion that sites deploying the calcite web framework should use the calcite colors.

I am reversing this decision. We're replacing Calcite Blue with Esri Brand Blue.

Calcite blue is inaccessible with white text. We use that a lot with links, buttons, panels, etc. Esri Blue passes WCAG AA, so we are now using that exclusively.
