Lumo Colors

Lumo defines a set of CSS Custom Properties for colors. You can use these properties to apply a consistent color palette across your application.

You can use the built-in Lumo light and dark mode variants to switch the color palette of all components in your application.

This page lists the available color properties in Lumo.

Base

The base color is used as the main background color for the system. The Grayscale colors are designed to be used on top of it, and the Text colors are designed to provide sufficient contrast with it.
