Colors!

[mrocklin]

Thanks all for the work on the sphinx theme. I'm curious about how we're choosing colors here. For example in our configuration reference I'm seeing the following:

Are these intentional (from a pallete somewhere?) or are we just deferring to the underlying theme? If the latter, should I just make modifications as I see fit, or do we want to consult something grander (if anyone else wants to take this away from me I'd be happy for it)

I think colors are intentional and coming from https://www.dask.org/brand-guide (though maybe we haven't gotten to updating colors in all parts of the theme yet)

cc @scharlottej13 as she'll know more about this

I don't know. That background blue looks awfully like standard Sphinx. My experience doing Sphinx style guide stuff is that there are a lot of little settings you don't catch the first time around.

(or at least, I failed at finding everything the first few times I did this)

Yes, exactly! I met w/ Jeromy and he also sent me these additional style guides:

Yup, spot on :). I went through and tried to find how to change most things, but I'm sure there were a bunch of little things I missed. I would be happy for you or others to jump in and make modifications. I outlined a couple outstanding items in #67 too and then there's a heated discussion on footer background colors in #75.

some options inspired by the spec sheet and discussion w/ @mrdanjlund77

option 1: black/light grey/slightly darker light grey

---

option 2: dark blue/slightly darker light grey

---

option 3: dark blue text, light blue background + light grey background

Nice!

My personal ranking would be (in order of decreasing preference)

• Option 2
• Option 1
• Option 3

@jacobtomlinson I'd be curious if you have any thoughts here

[jacobtomlinson]

Yup I agree with that ranking.
