21px font has been chosen as the default for the website. This is so that the website emulates Medium with a big font that is easy to read on screens. The inspiration for this choice can be found here.
Garamond has been chosen as font for the website. This is because it is a websafe font that is accessible on all browsers without download. This is in keeping with the website's aim to be accessible to those with low internet speeds.
I am a fan of the Data Journalism done by the Financial Times, so I wanted a colour scheme that would reference the publication. I have chosen to use Old Lace (#FFF1E0) as my main colour for the website.
NB. Was previously using #FFF9F5.
The color palette was generated using with Old Lace as the main color.
| Use Case | Colour | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Main brand color | #FFF1E0 | |
| Light color | #F0F1F3 | Use this color as the background for dark-on-light designs, or the text color of an inverted design. |
| Dark color | #5E6D8F | Use as the text color for dark-on-light designs, or as the background for inverted designs. |
| Light Accent | #A9978E | Accent colors can be used to bring attention to design elements by contrasting with the rest of the palette. |
| Dark Accent | #BA7781 | Another accent color to consider. Not all colors have to be used - sometimes a simple color scheme works best. |
