Dress code swatches: WordPress Block Pattern, Pattern Paste Canonical: https://patternpaste.com/pattern/dress-code-swatches.html Core Patterns (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/) Features (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/features/) Catalogue access Standard # Dress code swatches A dress code set out as a swatch card: the code's name at display size and one line of what it means, a centred row of five colour circles with their names beneath, then a Yes, please and a Perhaps not list side by side and a strip of three practical notes. The circles wrap three and two on a phone. ## All patterns Search patterns Loading patterns… Start here ## What to change first - The code's name and line. - The swatches. Change each circle's overlay colour and its name. - The lists and notes. The signature moment ## The dress code is a swatch card, five colour circles under the code's name Five plain-colour circles in a centred row, each a core/cover with a square aspect ratio and a 50% radius, ringed in a hairline so a pale colour still reads on the ground, with its name beneath on the page ground, never on the circle. On a laptop they sit in one row at 5.5rem each; on a phone they wrap three and two, centred. Theme handoff ## What comes from where ### From your theme - Typeface. - Palette. ### Set by this pattern - The code's name. - The lists. - The grids. Full pattern notes ## Why it works, and how it is built Open a topic for the complete design reasoning, editing guidance and implementation notes. Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives ### Overview A wedding dress code set out the way a stylist would hand it over: the code's name large, a line on what it means, a row of colour circles, a Yes, please and a Perhaps not list and three practical notes. It sits in the features section beside feature-circle-badges (four circles as a poster, text inside), loyalty-stamp-card (ten stamps) and why-choose-us-checklist (ticks): none is a palette of what to wear. ### The signature moment: the dress code is a swatch card, five colour circles under the code's name Five plain-colour circles in a centred row, each a core/cover with a square aspect ratio and a 50% radius, ringed in a hairline so a pale colour still reads on the ground, with its name beneath on the page ground, never on the circle. On a laptop they sit in one row at 5.5rem each; on a phone they wrap three and two, centred. Make it yoursVariations and the edits to make first ### What to change first - The code's name and line. - The swatches. Change each circle's overlay colour and its name. - The lists and notes. Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast ### What it inherits from your theme - Typeface. The base states no font family. - Palette. The circles are filled from your theme's accent-1 to accent-5, falling through to contrast where a theme has fewer. Accent colours have unknowable luminance, so the circles are decoration only and no text sits on them; each is ringed in currentColor. Everything else is contrast on base, labels on the label role, the strip's rule currentColor. ### What it decides for itself - The code's name. clamp(2.5rem, 1.5rem + 4.4vw, 5.5rem), off the ladder: about 40px on a phone, 80px on a laptop. - The lists. The large rung for their headings, medium body. - The grids. Yes and no at minimumColumnWidth: 20rem, the notes at 15rem, held to 880px. Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints ### The Vow look Part of the Vow Pattern Set, a couple's whole wedding website in one design language: wisteria white #f7f5fb ground, midnight #1f2240 ink, dusk #555a78 muted ink, card white #ffffff on a wisteria hairline #d9d3e6, peony #a8365a labels on light grounds and pale peony #f2b8c9 on the midnight slab. Names and headings are Didot at 400 with an italic ampersand; body, labels and buttons are Gill Sans. Buttons are square midnight rectangles or underlined peony links; cards and photographs are square. Every text pair is measured on the ground it is painted on. Take the base for your theme's colours, or the look's Use my theme chip. ### Notes - Core blocks only: group, cover, heading, paragraph, list, list item. No photograph.

The signature is the margin: the image is a window cut in the page rather than a band across it, and the paper around it is what you notice. A small opaque plate in the picture's bottom-right corner carries the caption, so no type ever sits on the photograph. The still-image version includes an example photograph; select your own clip for the video version. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/hero-aperture.html)How it works First visit to scale What happens at a first appointment, drawn to scale: a bar of the whole appointment split into three solid segments whose widths are each step's share of the minutes, a scale line under it, then the three steps at the same widths, stacking on a tablet and a phone, with a title and a line each, and a closing note with one button. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/first-visit-to-scale.html)Compare Compact comparison rows A mobile-first responsive comparison layout using stacked capability cards: each row pairs a feature title and summary with a side-by-side comparison block, avoiding horizontal table scrolling on small screens. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/compare-compact-rows.html) #### Before you paste Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type. How we test patterns (https://patternpaste.com/how-we-test/) Sample images stay in the copied blocks. Replace them in WordPress; pasting does not upload them to your Media Library. Video variations need your own clip.
