--theme-accent: #hex;
--theme-secondary: #hex;
--theme-bg: #hex;
--theme-font-heading: "Theme Header Font", sans-serif;
--theme-font-body: "Theme Body Font", sans-serif;

- Section headers: Accent color with header font
- Body: Body font on light background
- Charts/tables: Use accent and secondary for data series
- Callout boxes: Secondary color as background with primary text
Creating a Custom Theme
When no preset fits, generate a custom theme:
- Gather input — Ask about the brand, audience, mood, and context
- Select palette — Choose 4 colors that form a cohesive palette:
- One dark anchor color (backgrounds, text)
- One primary accent (emphasis, CTAs)
- One secondary accent (supporting elements)
- One light/neutral (backgrounds, whitespace)
- Pair fonts — Choose complementary heading and body fonts:
- Heading: distinctive, personality-driven
- Body: readable, clean
- Validate contrast — Ensure WCAG AA compliance for text on backgrounds
- Name the theme — Give it an evocative name describing the visual feeling
- Document — Write a theme file matching the standard format
- Review — Show the theme for approval before applying
Palette Harmony Rules
- Complementary: Colors opposite on the wheel (high contrast)
- Analogous: Colors adjacent on the wheel (harmonious)
- Triadic: Three evenly spaced colors (vibrant but balanced)
- Split-complementary: Base + two colors adjacent to its complement (versatile)
Contrast Guidelines
Ensure readability when applying any theme:
| Combination | Minimum Ratio | WCAG Level |
|---|
| Body text on background | 4.5:1 | AA |
| Large text (18px+) on background | 3:1 | AA |
| UI components / borders | 3:1 | AA |
| Enhanced readability | 7:1 | AAA |
Test accent colors against both light and dark backgrounds before finalizing.
Available Themes
All theme definitions are in the themes/ directory:
NEVER Do
- Apply a theme without confirmation — always get explicit user selection
- Mix colors from different themes — each theme is a cohesive unit
- Ignore contrast ratios — readability trumps aesthetics
- Use accent colors for large text blocks — accents are for emphasis only
- Skip font pairing — headers and body fonts must complement each other
- Hardcode theme values — use CSS variables for easy theme switching
