## Problem Primary colour serves readable text and selected controls, but those uses need different shades. Light mode needs darker text, while dark mode needs a deeper button fill. Fixed brand green on interactive chrome also prevents a custom primary hue from carrying through the interface. Some slider tracks and selected text are hard to read. ## Solution - Keep `--primary` for accessible text and small selected indicators. Use `--primary-solid` for button fills, which need a deeper shade in dark mode. - Add `--primary-bright` for focus rings, selected control chrome, chart accents, and other interactive highlights. It follows `--primary-hue`; `brand-*` stays fixed for Supabase identity. - Make slider troughs clearer and text selection translucent with theme foreground text. - Document the split in the design-system colour guide. | Before | After | | --- | --- | | <img width="980" height="244" alt="Before: light mode primary controls" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/dfae325d-0dfe-4231-8bcd-3f89c4b9d793" /> | <img width="982" height="204" alt="After: light mode primary controls" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5fdcb531-a6e3-4549-8a13-9d9a5ebe6e20" /> | | <img width="610" height="120" alt="Before: slider track" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/04f768e0-51e8-4d06-9b97-c52f4a34f122" /> | <img width="622" height="126" alt="After: slider track" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/95127f4e-13dc-4f0f-b63c-cf5d70a28b42" /> | | <img width="652" height="512" alt="Before: dark mode controls" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3f88de66-90cc-40ee-8cf1-b5f4eb87b09a" /> | <img width="658" height="498" alt="After: dark mode controls" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/906bec30-6ca1-4614-9fb3-6cf5e5feec22" /> | ## Review instructions 1. Compare light and dark mode in the [colour usage guide](https://design-system-git-dnywh-fix-bright-brand-chrome-supabase.vercel.app/design-system/docs/color-usage#primary-and-brand-colors). Check primary ink, primary-solid, primary-bright, and fixed brand swatches. 2. In Studio, open the ‘new table’ sheet in [Table Editor](https://studio-staging-git-dnywh-fix-bright-brand-chrome-supabase.vercel.app/dashboard/project/_/editor). Tab through the new table sheet's fields and toggles. Check the focus rings, selected controls, and the sheet's edges in both themes. You do not need to save a table. 3. Select text in Studio in both themes, including a link or primary-coloured label. The selection and text should remain legible. 4. Check the [Field](https://design-system-git-dnywh-fix-bright-brand-chrome-supabase.vercel.app/design-system/docs/components/field) Price Range slider: the unused track should remain visible in both themes. The selected field card border should follow primary-bright. 5. Check the [Button](https://design-system-git-dnywh-fix-bright-brand-chrome-supabase.vercel.app/design-system/docs/components/button) and [Radio Group](https://design-system-git-dnywh-fix-bright-brand-chrome-supabase.vercel.app/design-system/docs/components/radio-group) previews. In dark mode, `primary` button fill should be deeper than primary [text](https://design-system-git-dnywh-fix-bright-brand-chrome-supabase.vercel.app/design-system/docs/color-usage#text); selected radios should remain readable.
