colorChoicelogo.wordmark.fill

  • allowed: doordash-red, doordash-white, doordash-ink
  • forbidden: doordash-red-pressed, doordash-warning, doordash-success, doordash-graphite

The DoorDash wordmark renders in DoorDash Red on light surfaces, in white on dark surfaces, or in DoorDash Ink for monochrome applications. The pressed-red variant is an interactive-state value, not a wordmark fill. Functional warning / success hues must never substitute for the brand red.

forbiddenTreatmentlogo

  • treatments: stretched, rotated, recolored, drop-shadow, gradient-fill, on-busy-photo, placed-without-clearspace

DoorDash's wordmark is flat in the signature red with generous clearspace. Gradients, shadows, and recolorings compromise the warm-red optical recognition the brand depends on across delivery surfaces, app icons, and driver-facing collateral.

contrastRatiotext-primary

  • against: background
  • minRatio: 4.5
  • standard: WCAG-AA

DoorDash Ink (#191919) on DoorDash White (#FFFFFF) gives ~17:1 — well above the WCAG AA 4.5:1 floor for body text. The rule codifies the floor for new foreground/background pairings introduced on DoorDash surfaces.

contrastRatioroles.colors.primary

  • against: background
  • minRatio: 3
  • standard: WCAG-AA-large

DoorDash Red on DoorDash White must clear 3:1 at large-text and UI-component sizes (WCAG AA-large) to keep the primary CTA perceptible. The warm red is comfortably above the floor against white but the rule encodes the expectation explicitly.

contextRestrictionroles.colors.primary

  • forbiddenContexts: body-text, secondary-link, subtle-divider

DoorDash Red is reserved for the wordmark, the mark, and the primary call to action. Using it inside body copy or for subtle dividers dilutes the signature accent and weakens the visual hierarchy the brand voice depends on.

accessibilityRequirement*

  • standard: WCAG-AA
  • criterion: 1.4.3

WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast Minimum) — Level AA. DoorDash surfaces are used by consumers, dashers, and merchants under varied conditions; AA is the floor for any text on any DoorDash surface.

⚠️ warning (1)

enumMembershiptypography.heading.fontWeight

  • allowed: 500, 600, 700

DoorDash's marketing headlines on doordash.com and doordash.design sit in the Medium (500) through Bold (700) band. Lighter weights compromise the direct, confident voice; heavier weights are not part of the standard kit.

💡 recommendation (1)

compositionConstraintroles.colors.primary

  • pairsWith: doordash-white, doordash-fog, doordash-ink
  • doesNotPairWith: doordash-warning, doordash-success

DoorDash Red reads cleanest against the white canvas, the lightest fog neutral, or the deep ink dark canvas. Pairing it adjacent to the warning amber or the green success hue introduces a chromatic conflict that fights for attention without resolving into hierarchy.

Components — same template, themed by DoorDash

Every block below renders from the resolved palette + font references on this brand. Swap the brand and the same template re-themes — no per-brand component code required.

DoorDash

A clear hierarchy in DoorDash's typeface

Tertiary heading — supporting structure

Body copy renders in the brand's prose font on the brand's background. Inline links and highlighted phrases pick up the brand's primary and highlight roles. Code spans like brand.references.palette fall back to the monospace face.

A blockquote uses the brand's accent color as its rule. Useful for pulling tagline copy out of running prose.
Bulleted list
  • Bullet markers inherit the brand's primary color.
  • Item spacing reads as a deliberate vertical rhythm.
  • Nested items still resolve to the same primary.
    • Second-level item using the accent.
    • Third bullet wraps cleanly at narrow widths.
Numbered list
  1. Open the brand's resolved spec.
  2. Apply roles to the component template.
  3. Render the surface in the brand's identity.
  4. Audit the output against the typed rules.

Error

Surfaces a failure that blocks progress — palette role error. Use sparingly.
