Do & don’t

What makes it Rippling
  • Warm orange buttons with black text instead of white text
  • Warm beige surface panels instead of cool grey
  • Dense product screenshots shown inside soft-edged cards
Do
  • Pair the orange accent with black text, not white
  • Use warm beige/cream backgrounds for secondary panels
  • Show real dense data screens to prove the product works
Don’t
  • Don't use cold blue-grey tones
  • Don't put white text on the orange accent
  • Don't leave surfaces pure white everywhere

For AltLeads: Borrow the warm orange-on-black button styling to make primary actions feel friendly and approachable rather than corporate.
