To create a good first impression, ensure that your app's tiles look good in High Contrast Black and High Contrast White themes. If necessary, provide High Contrast versions of your tiles (unless your tile is a photograph or a company logo).
If you choose to display a logo name on a tile (set in the app manifest), or if your logo image contains text that conveys information (is not only decorative), make sure the text meets the requirements for accessible text.
The following image shows the Microsoft Visual Studio app manifest settings for logo text.
The color codes for logo foreground text are as follows:
- Dark - FFFFFF
- Light - 2A2A2A
