The Modus palette is based on the Trimble brand colors.

The following colors can be used for UI elements. When using colors, make sure the color contrast is high enough to meet accessibility standards.

Color Palette

Primary Palette

Trimble apps use a primary palette consisting of blue and yellow, together with various shades of “steel” or blueish gray. These colors have been the basis of Trimble’s corporate identity and come in four main colors: blue, yellow, light gray, and dark gray.

Blue and neutral progression colors are used as primary UI colors in Trimble products. Additional colors (such as the Trimble yellow, red, and green) are used sparingly and purposefully, usually as accent colors only.
