Hi team, is there any documentation about what elements (borders, buttons etc.) do the complementary colors (c0, c1 etc.) affect?

Hi Evanelos, in the mentioned documentation, Colors for various visual elements, such as borders, lines, shadows, buttons, and so on. The individual colors are used for: The individual colors are used for: •

- Background color of dashboard, widgets, dialogs, etc. •
c1
- Contrast background color •
c2
- More contrast background color •
c3
- Border light color •
c4
- Border medium color •
c5
- Text light color, border dark color •
c6
- Text color •
c7
- Text color •
c8
- Text color •
c9
- Text dark color, foreground color More details can be found in our doc below: https://www.gooddata.com/docs/cloud/customize-appearance/create-custom-themes/theme-properties/#ThemeProperties-Complementarycolor If this question relates to something else - Please let me know and I’ll be happy to check further for you 🙂

Hi @Michael Ullock, thanks for the reply. I'm more interested in a more detailed documentation of the complementary codes, for example what does
c7
affect specifically? If this is possible for all the complementary colors, that would be great😊

Hi Evanelos, thanks for getting back to me - I see what you mean now 🙂 Please see the screenshots below from my dummy testing workspace for clarification - I have updated those properties with different colours to highlight what each of them update / change: •
c6
- Text color = Yellow •
c7
- Text color = Green •
c8
- Text color = Red I hope this helps clarify what each property is updating. But I must admit, it is not very clear from our documentation - So I am going to reach out internally to see if we can get this updated and make it a little more clear 👍

Thanks for taking the time to do some testing! Appreciate the quick responses and the initiative to update the documentation👌
Hey @Michael Ullock, I have a question related to the sections' descriptions. I discovered that the descriptions are affected by the
c6
variable, but I expected the code snippet below to override it. I mention this because I have observed complementary colors being overridden in other cases.
Copy code
"section": {
            "title": {
                "color": "#6D7680",
                "lineColor": "#dde4eb"
            },
            "description": {
                "color": "#999EA5"
            }
        }
Why isn't the description color following the specified value? Can it be a bug? Thanks in advance 😊
