Mapping
To ensure compatibility with the new colour palette, themes need to be updated.
Every existing theme needs to do relevant changes to accommodate the new colour palette. If the theme is not yet migrated to the new colour Palette Configuration, you can still use the old colour palette.
Previously, if a certain element's colour was controlled by the primary colour variable, in the new template it must be configured using button Primary.
Below is a mapping of all six old colour variables to their corresponding new colour variables:
| Old colour Palette | New colour Palette |
|---|---|
| Primary | BUTTON PRIMARY |
| Secondary | TEXT HEADING |
| accent | THEME ACCENT |
| link | BUTTON LINK |
| button secondary | BUTTON SECONDARY |
| background | PAGE BACKGROUND |
