How app data works

Color is never the only cue

Built to stay readable.

Turn on distinct symbol overlays so every color has a second identity. Or use the dedicated Contrast palette for color-vision-safe differentiation.

  • Nine distinct symbol shapes
  • Dedicated high-contrast palette
  • Five palettes in total
