Color Selection

Colors in Author Portal are provided as HEX values. Photoshop, Illustrator, and most other image-editing applications will include HEX values in the color picker. Several web-based tools for converting common color values into HEX are also available.

• Primary (main) color: The branded header uses the primary color as the background behind the journal and society banners. It is important to choose a color that contrasts the banner colors.
• Secondary color and text color: The secondary color acts as the background for the journal-configurable external links, which are displayed using the text color attribute. We recommend using white, #FFFFFF, or black, #000000, for the text color, but any color is permitted. It is critical to select a secondary and text color combination that meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) color contrast guidelines.
