- Links, buttons, tabs and selected states now use one accent colour, CFIN blue
- Previously different sections had drifted into their own accent shades
- Profit (green), loss (grey with a minus sign) and destructive actions (red) stay separate from it
CFIN now uses a single accent colour, CFIN blue, for every link, highlighted button, active tab and selected state across the dashboard and public site — replacing a mix of accent shades that different sections had picked up on their own over time. The change makes it obvious at a glance what is interactive on any page, and it does not touch your account or your figures.
Why it matters
A single accent colour is easier to read, easier to trust, and makes it obvious at a glance what is interactive on a page.
It also means profit and loss indicators keep a consistent, unambiguous meaning: profit is shown in green with a plus sign, and a loss is shown in grey with a true minus sign — never red. Red is reserved strictly for destructive actions, like deleting something, so it never gets confused with ordinary trading outcomes.
What you need to do
Nothing — this is a visual consistency change only, with no effect on your account or your figures.
In detail
- Links, active tabs, selected states and the one filled button on each screen now consistently use CFIN blue.
- Previously, some sections had picked up their own shades of blue or accent colours over time.
- Profit, loss and destructive-action colours (green, grey-with-minus, and red respectively) are kept separate from the single navigational accent colour, so their meanings never overlap.
- A single accent also makes it straight away obvious, on any page, what is actually clickable.
One more thing
A single accent colour also makes the product easier to use for anyone who relies on colour to navigate quickly: there is exactly one colour to look for when scanning a page for what is clickable, rather than needing to learn a different convention on each page.
The colours reserved for money — green for profit, grey with a real minus sign for loss — are kept deliberately separate from this single navigational accent, so they never compete for attention or get confused with each other.
Settling on a single accent also simplified our own internal design reviews: rather than debating whether a new highlight colour fits a specific page, the answer is now always the same shared blue, which removes a whole category of inconsistent, one-off decisions.
