Color Significance

[kahboom]

The goal of this discussion is to determine when/where we should use certain colors to communicate relevant events to users.

Considerations & Points of Discussion

1. What should the colors indicate to users? What events will be significant? Perhaps validation to indicate a step is improperly configured, or if an integration is deployed and running, or what kind of step can be added, etc.
2. Which colors should we use for each particular event?
3. Coloring of labels to show what kind of step it is (e.g. source, sink, action)
4. Coloring of steps (border of circle nodes)
5. How does this impact accessibility? What can we do to ensure the app is accessible?

PatternFly Colors

Examples

Here we are using various PatternFly colors on the borders of the integration steps and on labels to indicate the kind of step it is.
