When picking a color the following requirements must be met: Don t obscure Shazam s user interface Always ensure your color allows for sufficient contrast between it and Shazam s homepage elements. The Shazam button, primary navigation and other homepage Color Range At Shazam, we use a value called luminance to decide whether a color is sufficiently dark enough to compliment and contrast the Shazam UI. UI elements must be perfectly visible (use the official Photoshop template to test). Do not edit any element of Shazam s core user interface (positioning or style). If you are creating a Shazam Brand Takeover internally, we suggest your design/creative department use professional judgement to select an appropriate color. Excluded Colors Shazam will work with you to get this right. Solid white (#FFFFFF) Light shades of any color However, using your color s RGB value, you can test its luminance using the formula on the following page...
