To ensure consistency for users of the platform, HelioCampus utilizes standardized color indicators for statuses displayed throughout the platform, helping to convey the intent/urgency of statuses. While the primary color serves as the core tone, background and text colors have been carefully paired to ensure badges maintain adequate contrast for readability.
