Completed Tasks

Color Palette Update

Person(s) Responsible: Michelle, Vidhi, Elizabeth, Eli, Kaylie

Due Date: 2026-01-14

Description/Example(s):

  • Link to Figma

  • Priority has been placed on dark mode due to time constraints and majority preference and accessibility benefits to primary audience. Upon examining our current dark mode color palette, we adjusted some colors to provide appropriate contrast for accessibility and consistency across the app. Main changes: semantic color scheme, deeper purple background, brighter blue secondary/accent.


Error Message

Person(s) Responsible: Shan + Thomas

Due Date: 2025-11-16

Description/Example(s):

  • Link to Github commit
