Neutral Color

The Neutral Color setting is one of several color categories used to maintain a harmonious design. It coexists with Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary colors, each serving different aspects of the design.

Color Roles

1. Background:

   • Purpose: The background color is applied to the component's background.

   • Usage: It sets the neutral surface color of a component, providing a subtle and unobtrusive backdrop that supports other color elements.

2. Background Gradient:

   • Purpose: The background gradient color is applied to the component's background when a gradient effect is selected.

   • Usage: It adds a gradient overlay to the background, giving depth and a modern look to the component using neutral tones.

3. Foreground:

   • Purpose: The foreground color is applied to the text above the background.

   • Usage: It ensures that the text is legible and stands out against the neutral background color.

4. Foreground Variant:

   • Purpose: The foreground color variant is applied to the text above the background when a variant effect is selected.

   • Usage: It offers an alternative text color for specific states or conditions, such as hover or focus states, ensuring visual distinction and interaction feedback with neutral tones.

5. Border:

   • Purpose: The border color is applied to the borders of the component.

   • Usage: It defines the edges of the component, providing separation and emphasis with a neutral color.

6. Shadow:

   • Purpose: The shadow color is applied to the shadows behind the component.

   • Usage: It creates a sense of depth and elevates the component from the background, adding a subtle yet impactful visual hierarchy with neutral shades.

Coexisting Colors

1. Primary Color:

   • The main color used for primary elements, ensuring high visibility and emphasis. It works alongside the neutral color to create a balanced visual hierarchy.

2. Secondary Color:

   • Used for secondary elements, providing additional visual interest without overpowering the primary color. It complements the neutral color in highlighting various components.

3. Tertiary Color:

   • Used for tertiary elements, offering another layer of visual differentiation. It helps in accentuating less prominent features or providing contrast with the neutral backdrop.

Summary

By understanding and correctly applying these color roles, you can create a visually cohesive and aesthetically pleasing design for your Shopify store. Each color setting is integral to maintaining a balanced and professional look, ensuring that all components work harmoniously together with the neutral color providing a versatile and supportive backdrop.
