# Colors

## Introduction

Cal.com is designed to be a grayscale brand to emphasise on boldness and professionalism. Some inspiration for the black and white design was drawn from Uber. Hence, colors should be sparingly used.

## Base

Our color set is based on the TailwindCSS colors, with some modifications. It's especially important that our specific grayscale colors are used.

## Aliases

We sometimes use class name aliases to reference particular colors, with two sets of aliases for light and dark modes.

### Light Mode
