Colour
Choosing your highlight colour
A key visual attribute of all Nokia N9 applications is the highlight colour. Each application owns a unique highlight colour for personality and differentiation.
When choosing your application's highlight colour, consider aligning it with the primary colour of your brand to promote your brand's presence and strengthen your application's identity.
Applying your highlight colour
Your custom highlight colour can be applied across a set of components to indicate activity, progress, and key positive actions in your application.
It is important to apply your highlight colour consistently throughout your application, being careful not to mix different colours. In addition to providing visual consistency, your highlight colour will help in the recognition of your application across the various home screens.
Custom colour for your app
While Nokia N9 offers ready-to-use common controls, they can be customized to better suit the needs of your application.
As noted before, the Nokia N9 visual style may be better suited for certain applications than others. If your application falls into the second category, consider a custom-style approach.
There is a wide array of options available when dealing with customization. UI components may be altered in colour, shape, and treatment, and image content may also receive a custom treatment. Introducing a custom typeface is also a possibility, but please note that your font will only be available within your application.
When using a custom style, implement the style throughout the user interface of your application to avoid conflicts with the Nokia N9 visual style.
