European Digital Identity

The European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet is a flagship European Commission programme that gives EU citizens, residents, and businesses a single digital wallet for authenticating identity, storing credentials (diplomas, driving licences, prescriptions, tickets), and creating qualified electronic signatures across borders. The visual identity inherits the institutional Europa Component Library (ECL) — Branding blue (#004494) as the European Commission identity colour, a deep Primary blue scale for interaction, a warm Secondary gold scale for accents (the chromatic echo of the EU emblem stars), and the ECL status set for feedback. Typography on EC digital surfaces is Arial; this atom substitutes Public Sans (heading) and Manrope (body) as the open-source rendering proxies and documents the substitution.

European Digital Identity · [email protected] · Proprietary — © European Union

The European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet is a European Commission programme rendered through the institutional Europa Component Library (ECL) visual identity. The palette is anchored by the European Commission's Branding blue (#004494) and an EC Primary blue scale that runs from #051036 (Primary-180) up through #D8E0FB (Primary-20), paired with a warm Secondary gold scale (Secondary-180 #8F5600 through Secondary-20 #FFF2DE) used for ceremonial and editorial accents. Status colours follow the ECL feedback set (Info #3860ED, Success #24A148, Warning #F39811, Error #DA1E28). Neutrals are the ECL "Dark" trio plus a blue-tinted Neutral scale.

🛑 error (7)

colorChoiceroles.colors.primary

  • allowed: branding, primary-100, primary-140
  • forbidden: secondary-100, error, success, warning

The European Commission's institutional identity blue is Branding (#004494), with ECL Primary 100 (#3860ED) carrying the default interactive role inside the component library. The warm Secondary scale, the success/warning/error status hues, and the Neutral scale all have their own roles — substituting any of them for the primary action colour breaks the institutional identity that EU citizens recognise as "European Commission."

colorChoiceroles.colors.mark

  • allowed: branding
  • forbidden: primary-100, primary-140, secondary-100, dark-100

The EC identity mark renders in Branding blue (#004494) specifically — not the ECL Primary 100 used for interactive controls and not Dark 100 used for ink. The mark colour and the interaction colour are intentionally distinct so that brand presence is visually separable from clickable affordance.

contrastRatiotext-primary

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

ECL components are documented to target WCAG 2.1 Level AA across European Commission digital surfaces, in line with Directive (EU) 2016/2102 on the accessibility of public- sector websites and mobile applications. Dark 100 (#26324B) on the near-white background (#FCFCFC) clears AA at ~12:1.

accessibilityRequirement*

  • standard: WCAG-AA
  • criterion: 1.4.3

WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast Minimum) — Level AA. The EUDI Wallet, as a Commission service programme rolling out to every Member State by end-2026, is in scope of the EU Public Sector Accessibility Directive; AA conformance is the regulatory floor for every consuming Member State implementation.

forbiddenTreatmentlogo

  • treatments: stretched, rotated, recolored, drop-shadow, gradient-fill, outlined, on-busy-photo, tilted

The European emblem (twelve gold stars on Reflex Blue) is governed by EU interinstitutional rules and the European Commission emblem-use guidelines. The emblem MUST render in its supplied proportions, in its supplied colours, on a clear field. Recolouring, distortion, rotation, or placement on a busy photographic background is prohibited.

fontPairingtypography.display

  • requires: prose
  • minSizeRatio: 1.5

ECL's documented type scale steps from a 16px body anchor through 20px lede, 24px small heading, and up to 52px Heading 1 desktop. Every step preserves at least a 1.5× ratio against the body anchor; collapsing display to body size destroys the scannability ECL components rely on for multilingual readability across 24 official EU languages.

contextRestrictionroles.colors.error

  • forbiddenContexts: confirmation, completion, data-viz-positive
  • allowedContexts: error-state, destructive-action, validation-failure

ECL Error (#DA1E28) is the documented destructive / validation-failure colour. Reusing it for confirmation inverts the semantic contract built into ECL's Banner, Notification, and Form-validation components — components that EUDI Wallet implementations across 27+ Member States compose with directly.

⚠️ warning (1)

enumMembershiptypography.heading.fontWeight

  • allowed: 400, 700

ECL's published typography reference specifies Arial at weight 400 (Regular) for all heading levels except Heading 6, which uses 700 (Bold). Constraining the substitute (Public Sans) to Regular and Bold preserves the typographic flatness of the EC institutional surface — extra display weights would introduce hierarchy ECL doesn't itself use.

💡 recommendation (1)

compositionConstraintroles.colors.mark

  • pairsWith: white, background, neutral-40, primary-180
  • doesNotPairWith: secondary-100, error, warning, web-magenta

Branding blue reads as institutional EC identity against the white canvas, the near-white background, or the deep Primary 180 navy. Placing it adjacent to the Secondary gold, Warning orange, or Error red at equal weight produces chromatic competition that fights the measured civic voice EUDI inherits from the Commission's institutional identity.

Arial is proprietary to Monotype and is not present in this catalogue's fonts/ directory. This brand references public-sans@1 as the open-source heading face (the closest grotesque-sans match commissioned for U.S. government digital use) and manrope@1 as the body face, with roboto-mono@1 for code. Consumers targeting an actual EC-licensed surface should use Arial via their platform's stock distribution. The EUDI programme inherits ECL identity rather than publishing a separate brand; this atom maps ECL Branding blue to the identity and mark roles and ECL Primary 100 to the default interactive primary, with the warm Secondary scale carrying the accent role.

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.

Info

Neutral status — provides supplemental context without urgency. Uses the brand's primary as the rule.

Success

Confirms a completed action — palette role success determines the rule color.

Warning

Calls out something that needs attention but isn't an error — palette role warning.

Error

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