In the AppSections Brand Style, colors play a crucial role in defining the visual identity and consistency of your Shopify store. Each color setting serves a specific purpose, ensuring that the components look cohesive and visually appealing. Here is a detailed explanation of the different color settings and their roles for the Tertiary Color category:

Tertiary Color

The Tertiary Color setting is one of several color categories used to maintain a harmonious design. It coexists with Primary, Secondary, and Neutral 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 tertiary surface color of a component, providing an additional visual context to the primary and secondary backgrounds.

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 tertiary 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 tertiary 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 tertiary 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 tertiary 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 tertiary shades.

Coexisting Colors

1. Primary Color:

   • The main color used for primary elements, ensuring high visibility and emphasis. It works alongside the tertiary 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 tertiary color in highlighting various components.

3. Neutral Color:

   • Typically used for backgrounds, borders, or text where a neutral tone is needed. It ensures that the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors stand out without clashing.

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 tertiary color providing additional complementary tones.
