Gohu colors

Gohu design standard

The colors, type and parts that every gohu.ca app is built from. Link one stylesheet and the fonts, tokens and components come with it.

Also here: tokens.json for scripts and native apps, and gohu-mark.svg.

Mark

A lowercase g with an indigo dot on a navy tile. It stands for the family account, so it shows up wherever someone signs in.

Color

Navy and Indigo come from the mark and stay with it. Blue is the one accent: primary buttons, links and whatever is selected. Everything else is gray, so the few colored things stand out.

Brand

The same in light and dark.

Navy

The mark’s tile. Dark buttons on light pages, like Manage account on gohu.ca.

#131a33
Indigo

The mark’s dot, the .ca in the wordmark, and glyphs in app icons. Not for buttons or links.

#4353ff
Indigo deep

Shaded faces in app icons, like the fold on Docs. Hover for Navy buttons.

#2b37cc
Indigo light

Lit faces in app icons, like the top edge on Drive.

Interface

These swap with the theme. Contrast is measured against the color each one sits on.

Paper

The page.

#ffffff
#0b0d10
Mist

Wells and secondary panels that sit a step back from the page.

#f6f7f9
#15181d
Card

Cards, buttons and inputs. The same as Paper in light, lifted in dark.

#15181d
Line

Every border and divider.

#25282d

Headings and body text.

#0e111618.91:1 AA

Signals

Yes and No stay the same in both themes. As text on their tints they’re too faint in light mode, so labels use a darker shade there.

Yes

Yes bets, gains, and a gauge at 50% or more.

#27ae60
Yes tint

Yes at 10%. The Yes button.

#e9f7ef
#0e1d18

Layout

Components

Everything here is plain HTML with .g- classes. Open the HTML under any example to copy it.

Buttons

One Blue button per screen. The outlined button is the default, and it’s how Sign in with Gohu looks everywhere. Navy is for the family hub.

Sign in with Gohu Manage account

Yes and No

Always a pair, Yes first, equal width.

Filters

Pills narrow a list. The selected one fills with Blue. They scroll sideways on small screens instead of wrapping.

Cards

A card holds one thing. The dashed tile beside it makes a new one.

Will the iPhone Duo break in half when JerryRigEverything does his famous test for foldable phones?

Chance gauge

Set --value from 0 to 100. Use .g-gauge--yes at 50 and above, .g-gauge--no below. It scales with font size.

Disclosure

For the question some people have and most don’t. The chevron turns when it opens.

What’s Gohu, and why sign in with it?

Gohu is the single family account that all the family apps share. Instead of every app keeping its own list of usernames and passwords, The Odds Are… hands sign-in off to Gohu so there’s one account — and one password — to remember across everything.

It means your email address, profile info, and password are all the same here as in the other family apps. Change your password or update your details once in your Gohu account and it applies everywhere. The Odds Are… never sees or stores your password — Gohu handles that and just tells us who you are.

You can manage your Gohu account at https://account.gohu.ca.

Text field

Label above, hint below. Inputs are 16px so phones don’t zoom in when you tap them.

Ask something with a clear yes or no answer.

Footer

The app’s name, what it is, and its fine print, joined by middle dots. Links are underlined.

Patterns

Whole screens that repeat across the family. Build these the same way in every app.

Sign in

Every app signs in through Gohu and nothing else. The page explains Gohu before it asks you to use it.

App list

How gohu.ca lists the family’s apps. Each card opens the app; the icon sits on a white tile in both themes.

Writing

Plain words, said the way you’d say them at the kitchen table. These apps are for family.

Sentence case, always

Buttons, filters, headings and titles. Capitalize only the first word and names.

Use the verb and the thing. The same action keeps the same name through the whole flow.

Gohu has a capital G
