There's yellow, orange, blue borders, grey borders, different shades of blue for different links, grey background etc. so you're oversimplifying.
The linked article even makes the point you end up needing several greys, reds etc. for things like borders and warning pop-ups. Nobody is arguing you should have 10 brand colours.
- enriquto 6y agoOK, so there are more colors. The example that you show uses colors to signal things that are wrong with the current page. This is somewhat logical: if things look wrong (because there are more than three colors) then they are wrong. Regular wikipedia entries do not have yellow nor orange: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemannian_manifold https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemannian_manifold You are right that there's still more colors: very light shades of gray, and a thin light blue line for separator. They are almost imperceptible on my screen, but I would say that the page would look even better if the thin separator was black, and there were no different background shades.
- yoz-y 6y agoTFA specifically says that the colors added to greys and primary are there to convey states: warnings, destructive operations, tendencies and so on. > They are almost imperceptible on my screen, but I would say that the page would look even better if the thin separator was black, and there were no different background shades. Most would disagree. Separating the content from sidebar and asides such as the table of contents is useful because your eyes can follow where you are.
