Accessibility checker

The preview has a built in colour checker that calculates the contrast and accessibility of each text and background colour combination (using the WCAG 2.0 accessibility standard). Colours that fall below the minimum contrast level will display a warning.

This should be used as guide only. Please note that contrast checker does not take into consideration background images (if used)

Theme styles

Brand styles

Brand determines the logo and colour palette for the theme

When modifying the global colour palette, text colours will automatically snap to white/black based on the contrast of the background colour. The colour picker is pre-populated with logo colours and some other defaults.

You can

  • upload a logo for the cover page
  • modify the global colour palette that is used across the other styles
  • select a preset theme

Smart theming

When you first upload a logo, Estii analyses the image, and automatically generates a complimentary, accessible colour palette for your theme. This theme is applied automatically the first time, subsequent times it will display a preview first.
