MCDL

MCDL stands for MVS Color Design Language.

It is our way of making interfaces easier to understand at a glance.

The goal is not decoration for its own sake.

The goal is to help people recognize meaning quickly and confidently.

Core Ideas​

  • recognize first, read second
  • every color owns meaning
  • semantic colors should stay consistent
  • accessibility matters
  • color should support meaning, not replace it

What This Looks Like​

  • color ownership
  • semantic colors
  • accessibility
  • consistency

Goal​

Users should understand important states quickly, with visual systems that feel consistent, accessible, and easy to trust.
