Content guidelines

  • badges are used to inform users of the status of an element in the interface
  • keep in mind the recommended color coding for each of variant
  • try to use labels with short, scannable text
  • try to use a single word to describe the status of an element
  • try to describe the status in the past tense, like changed or archived

Accessibility

  • text must be clear enough for color-blind users to be able to understand immediately without needing to rely only on the color.
