class ColorScheme


A ColorScheme holds all the named color parameters for a MaterialTheme.

Color schemes are designed to be harmonious, ensure accessible text, and distinguish UI elements and surfaces from one another.

The Material color system and custom schemes provide default values for color as a starting point for customization.

To learn more about color schemes, see Material Design Color System.

Extension functions

fun ColorScheme.contentColorFor(backgroundColor: Color): Color

The Material color system contains pairs of colors that are typically used for the background and content color inside a component. For example, a Button typically uses primary for its background, and onPrimary for the color of its content (usually text or iconography).

This function tries to match the provided backgroundColor to a 'background' color in this ColorScheme, and then will return the corresponding color used for content. For example, when backgroundColor is ColorScheme.primary, this will return ColorScheme.onPrimary.

If backgroundColor does not match a background color in the theme, this will return Color.Unspecified.

Returns
Color

the matching content color for backgroundColor. If backgroundColor is not present in the theme's ColorScheme, then returns Color.Unspecified.
