Usage

The strongest emphasis available without a gradient or a glow. The panel keeps its own padding and radius so it can sit between two ordinary sections without touching either.

  • One inverted panel per page.
  • Keep the panel inside the container, not full-bleed, or it reads as a footer.

Variants and states

Every entry below is a genuine difference in behaviour or layout, and every one of them is visible in the preview above.

  • Rounded inverted panel
  • Grid-paper layer
  • Two actions

Accessibility

Decorative layer
The pattern is aria-hidden.
Contrast
Foreground uses ink-inverse so contrast holds across palettes.

Foundry implements published ARIA patterns and is tested against them. No WCAG certification is claimed — see the accessibility documentation for what is and is not covered.
