1734315 - [Monochromatic Themes] Yellow - Balanced Palette - Adjust color scheme to have more "light theme" elements

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Theme, enhancement)

Description

[Cristian Fogel [:cfogel]]

Attachment: yelolow.png

Affected versions

• 95.0a1 (2021-10-05)

Affected platforms

• Win10

Steps to reproduce

1. Launch Firefox with a fresh profile(so the Life in color is triggered);
2. Click to start the theme/color picking;
3. Pick the Yellow - Balanced schema;

Enhancement suggestion

• address/search bar could have the bg-color white and text dark-grey as on the other themes (for consistency, as all the other Balanced themes)
• with background color of the [Pick your palette] modal being white, it would have seemed more natural to have those as well on white; same for the bg-color of the default page and active-tab;

Actual result

• address/search bar are of dark-theme setup on Balanced palette;

Regression range

• visible with build from 95.0a1 (2021-10-05);

Additional notes

• UX-wise it might seem a bit intense to have the dark theme fields in there; having said that, it does improve visibility of the items by a lot;
• consistency-wise all other Balanced schemes are on light-mode color setup.

Updated and confirmed the enhancement. This is not a regression.

After further consideration, this enhancement should be in the Theme component. Sorry for the spam.

@Harry can you please weigh in on this?

UX used black accents after careful consideration. Black backgrounds were necessary to provide appropriate text contrast given the yellow colour used in the theme.
