Color

Appearances

Night, Dawn and High contrast share semantic roles. High contrast uses black neutral surfaces and white text and boundaries. The theme control on this page changes documentation, not desktop Settings.

Brand and danger

Red denotes identity, active application contours, selection bars and affirmative action. Danger uses a neutral surface, danger outline, stop symbol, reason and explicit action label.

Disabled and selected

Disabled text uses text-secondary at full opacity with disabled semantics and an unavailable cue. Selection combines selected fill with a leading bar and a check or existing selected wording.

These labeled samples hold each state still for comparison. The disabled example is unavailable; the danger sample shows neutral destructive chrome.
