Take a look at background colors in ffe-grid

Which package is this issue related to?

ffe-grid, ffe-grid-react

Describe your issue (screenshots welcome!)

The designguide defines a series of colours that can be used as backgrounds, namely

ffe-white ffe-grey-warm ffe-sand ffe-green-mint ffe-blue-pale ffe-orange-salmon ffe-red

and

ffe-blue-sky ffe-blue-pale ffe-blue-ice

The grid supports the following

ffe-blue-cobalt ffe-blue-ice ffe-blue-pale ffe-blue-royal ffe-green-mint ffe-grey-cloud ffe-purple-magenta ffe-sand

Some of those we support do not belong, some of those that belong we do not support

To sum up:

These should possibly be removed:

ffe-blue-cobalt ffe-blue-royal ffe-purple-magenta

These should be added:

ffe-grey-warm ffe-orange-salmon ffe-red ffe-blue-sky

I propose that we remove those that are not listed as background colours in order to discourage them being used and leave it to user-land to add those in projects where there are some kind of special reason to allow them and that we add those that are missing.

@selbekk I was planning on mentioning it in the changelog 😃

My point is, can we discourage things from being used but still make them available for those that need them in these edge-cases?

Yes we can. That’s exactly what we do if we drop the FFE support for it. They can still use their own CSS if they really really really want to do it. If want to we discourage doing something then not making it too easy to do is a really good way to signal that in my opinion.
