ACSS 101.07.P2: Background & Text Color (Contextual Approach + Auto Color Relationships)

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
  • In this lesson you'll learn the newer, more modern approach to managing background and text color on websites.
    While this approach might take you some additional thinking to wrap your brain around, it's ultimately a better approach for three main reasons:
    1. It's faster and removes the need to reference/remember specific colors and shades being used on any given project.
    2. It's more flexible and maintainable because you don't have to commit to specific colors in your build process.
    3. It has the advantage of ACSS's automatic color relationships feature.

    How often have I missed such a feature in the last 20 years of web design. Tested straight away, worked straight away. Thank you very much, really cool!

    This is the first approach that I've seen to website color management that actually makes sense! Thanks to all of the ACSS team that have made this possible. Looking forward to seeing how far this concept can extend. Great job all!

    An impressive approach that actually provides additional benefits. I imagine designing the website in dark light ultra and, in the final phase, selecting the appropriate colors for the best version of the design. Nice, almost like drawing with a pencil on a white sheet of paper. Good work!

    Mind blown!!! The combination of Bricks with ACSS (and Frames!) is like going from a Cessna 172 to a Lancair IV-P (that's Nissan Sentra to Porsche Cayenne GTS).
    Thank you Kevin and Team!!

    If I understand you correctly, you will be expanding the relationship colors that can be set so that headlines can be contextual and independent of the already contextual text color and then links, etc. If so, that will be a wonderful addition to applying the color design style of headline/text being light/light-muted.

    • @AutomaticCSS
      @AutomaticCSS  2 місяці тому +1

      The headlines are already impacted along with the text. The expansion would be for links and perhaps buttons.

    Truly, a creative approach for colours in ACSS. I don’t know how your thought processes developed to refine this unique concept, but its novel approach will lead to even more developments in ACSS. Thank you Kevin and Team! ❤

    This is a great approach. I'll really need to wrap my head around this some more but I wish I knew about this for my last build in ACSS 2.8 (read some of the other comments). All kinds of great stuff coming our way!

    Abstracting colors, great approach.
    But don't we need more than 2 darkness (or lightness) states? Dark, ultra-dark, less-dark, ... ?

    Great video, does the next video 'Color Scheme & Dark Mode' not make contextual/auto color relationships redundant if using light/dark color schemes?

    Maybe need to add separate H and p colors on light/dark bg? And also accent colors on light/dark bg?

    Hi Kevin, awesome videos from part 1 to 2 btw. But I just want to clarify that this approach only applies for colors and texts right? Also with this approach other stylings should still be handled via BEM method?

    When I right click on background it just says "background colors" and not "contextual background colors". Do I need to turn that on somewhere?

    Is there a way to integrate Overlays in the workflow... Although they're not technically backgrounds- .. for theming and relationship purposes, It would make things seamless

    • @AutomaticCSS
      @AutomaticCSS  2 місяці тому +2

      We are considering contextual overlays. The challenge is they aren’t always dark, are almost never light, and are often gradient.
      So we might just go with .overlay as a programmable default overlay style.
