The Standard Color Scheme

Purpose

Each page of the application uses different colors to separate it into functional areas. The page will work perfectly well without these colors, but the colors give additional visual cues.

Colors and Functions

Panel Colors

• A Light Blue Panel denotes a panel or control used to select or change something, such as a topic.
• A Yellowish Panel ("lightgoldenrod") denotes a panel used mainly to list details of a selection. In a few cases, items in such a panel can also be selected (and, in the Occurrences page, ocurrence data can be changed). This is possible in the center panel of the View Topics and View Associations pages.

Control Colors

• A Blue Button is used to add or change something, such as a topic or an association.
• A Red Button is used to delete something
• A Neutral Colored Button - the browser's default color, usually gray - is used to perform some action that does not change the data.
