# Colors
Anywhere you can pass a color in a component prop, you can pass either:
* A standard [Color](#color)
* A [Dynamic](#color.dynamic) Color
* A [Raw](#color.raw) Color
## API Reference
### Color
The standard colors. Use those colors for consistency.
The colors automatically adapt to the Raycast theme (light or dark).
#### Example
```typescript
import { Color, Icon, List } from "@raycast/api";
export default function Command() {
return (
);
}
```
#### Enumeration members
| Name | Dark Theme | Light Theme |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Blue |  |  |
| Green |  |  |
| Magenta |  |  |
| Orange |  |  |
| Purple |  |  |
| Red |  |  |
| Yellow |  |  |
| PrimaryText |  |  |
| SecondaryText |  |  |
## Types
### Color.ColorLike
```typescript
ColorLike: Color | Color.Dynamic | Color.Raw;
```
Union type for the supported color types.
When using a [Raw Color](#color.raw), it will be adjusted to achieve high contrast with the Raycast user interface. To disable color adjustment, you need to switch to using a [Dynamic Color](#color.dynamic). However, we recommend leaving color adjustment on, unless your extension depends on exact color reproduction.
#### Example
```typescript
import { Color, Icon, List } from "@raycast/api";
export default function Command() {
return (
);
}
```
### Color.Dynamic
A dynamic color applies different colors depending on the active Raycast theme.
When using a [Dynamic Color](#color.dynamic), it will be adjusted to achieve high contrast with the Raycast user interface. To disable color adjustment, you can set the `adjustContrast` property to `false`. However, we recommend leaving color adjustment on, unless your extension depends on exact color reproduction.
#### Example
```typescript
import { Icon, List } from "@raycast/api";
export default function Command() {
return (
);
}
```
#### Properties
| Property | Description | Type |
| --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- |
| dark\* | The color which is used in dark theme. | `string` |
| light\* | The color which is used in light theme. | `string` |
| adjustContrast | Enables dynamic contrast adjustment for light and dark theme color. | `boolean` |
### Color.Raw
A color can also be a simple string. You can use any of the following color formats:
* HEX, e.g `#FF0000`
* Short HEX, e.g. `#F00`
* RGBA, e.g. `rgb(255, 0, 0)`
* RGBA Percentage, e.g. `rgb(255, 0, 0, 1.0)`
* HSL, e.g. `hsla(200, 20%, 33%, 0.2)`
* Keywords, e.g. `red`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://developers.raycast.com/api-reference/user-interface/colors.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
