design-foundations

To ensure color accessibility and visual consistency without a design system, apply artifact-agnostic design foundations that enforce rules for color palettes, typography scales, and spacing across CSS, slides, and documents.

The best way to choose accessible color palettes for data visualization is to apply design foundations that enforce specific rules for chart color sequences, accessible charts, and KPI card layouts to maintain visual clarity.

To set up typography hierarchy and layout guidance for a new project, use design foundations that provide typography sizing rules and spacing constraints, ensuring consistent visual structure across CSS and print artifacts.

Yes, you can use these design foundations to style both a cohesive dashboard and a slide deck, as the guidance is artifact-agnostic and applies consistent color, typography, and chart styling rules across multiple visual output formats.

You should not use artifact-agnostic design foundations when a project-specific design system already governs the work, as those existing rules will take precedence over general color, typography, and spacing guidance for your visual artifacts.
