The Secret Lives Of Color Systems
Wed, 26th – 3:00 PM
Design systems are built on top of many other systems, and each part has to be designed in context with the rest. Color is no different, and it's often particularly challenging to work with.
In this talk Diana will be sharing her journey into color, from the technical challenges to how people respond to it. She'll show you the work behind updating large scale web applications like GitHub, testing the interaction of color with other parts of a design system, creating color naming conventions, color contrast, and using color systems outside of the product UI.
