Color Scheme

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. The coordinated set of colors used in an interface or visual system, including backgrounds, text, accents, and semantic states. In development work, a color scheme is often encoded as tokens or design variables so components stay visually consistent across themes and products.

    In plain English: The set of colors used together in a user interface or design system.

    Example: "The component library exposed the color scheme as CSS variables so product teams could update branding without rewriting each button and panel style manually."
