Proposal: add a 'positive' colour.

Closed this issue · 5 comments

There are cases where it's useful to have a colour with a semantic meaning of 'positive'.

We already have error_colour which is a good red for 'negative' - but we don't have a counterpart.

We could use an existing colour, or make a new colour. Either way, a semantic SASS name would be good.

The closest colour would be button_colour. An alternate would be #008800 which is the green used by petitions. It's warmer, which feels more positive to me.

Thoughts?

@edwardhorsford since this is in response to 'done' pages' use of turquoise, should we show how this colour would be used and also see if we should deprecate the turquoise?

@NickColley it's related, but isn't in response to that - it's something I've thought about a few times before.

@edwardhorsford shall we raise this in Frontend and close here?

@igloosi yes that's probably a good idea.
