Colour

Dark background and text white

Use to make text appear white in colour and background dark in colour. 

Appearance

Correct use

Compliance point(s):

  • Use to introduce contrast to information.
  • Use .text-white in combination with .bg-dark to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background.
  • Wrap text in a <span> tag if a style does not appear as it is meant to, due to specificity reasons

Incorrect use

Compliance point(s):

  • Do not use this component in a way that conflicts with the preceding compliance point(s)
  • Do not use as the only way to communicate information or intent, as colour alone is not accessible
