Color block used as a hero banner
PATTERN OVERVIEW
Use the color block pattern as the main hero image directly below the primary navigation bar. This pattern includes a H1 heading (page title) with an optional dash, subheading, supporting copy and an optional CTA button.
Guidelines
- When used as hero image, the following color options can be used: primary brand (orange), off white (light gray), black, off black, gray darker, gray dark or gray. Color options will vary on CDO sites.
- Be sure to use the recommended breadcrumb and color block color combinations noted below because the breadcrumb menu will appear over top the color block.
- When the breadcrumb appears over the primary brand (orange), black, off black, gray darker, gray dark or gray color block the breadcrumb color is set to white.
- When appearing over a white or off white (light gray) color block the breadcrumb color is set to blue.
- Image is positioned on the right and text on left.
- The H1 heading is added to the text block rather than directly to the AEM component since the color block title defaults to an H2 heading.
- CTA button: Use the approved button style and color block combinations noted below:
- Off white — use a basic, reverse, or button link.
- Primary brand orange — use a reverse button.
- Black, off black, gray darker, gray dark or gray — use a reverse button.
- Accent colors — use a reverse button.
- The share bar is placed directly below the color block when needed. It should be added so that the top of the share bar touches the bottom of the color block component.
AEM component: Use the color block component to build this pattern.
