Secondary Color (Tag Color)

Where Secondary Color Appears

Your secondary color is used for:

  • Credential pills - Suffixes like “MD”, “PhD”, “RMT”
  • Service tags - Labels like “New Patients Only”
  • Restriction badges - “Credit Card Required” indicators
  • Small labels - Various informational badges

These elements appear in:

  • The hero section (practitioner credentials)
  • Practitioner cards in the team list
  • Service cards in the booking panel
  • “Read More” modals for practitioner details

Changing Your Secondary Color

Step-by-Step

  1. Log in to OutSmart and visit your booking page

  2. Click the Settings icon (gear) in the header

  3. Find Tag Color in the dropdown

  4. Choose from preset colors or enter a custom hex code

  5. The page updates immediately

    The secondary color is independent of the primary color - you can mix and match to suit your brand.

Using Custom Colors

Enter a hex code to match your brand:

  1. Click in the custom color field
  2. Enter your 6-digit hex code (e.g., #EA580C)
  3. Press Enter to apply

Design TipChoose a secondary color that complements your primary color without clashing.

Good combinations:

  • Blue primary + Orange secondary (classic contrast)
  • Teal primary + Coral secondary (modern look)
  • Purple primary + Gold secondary (premium feel)

Tag Styling

All tags using the secondary color have consistent styling:

  • Background: Secondary color at 10% opacity
  • Text: Secondary color at full opacity
  • Shape: Pill-shaped (fully rounded corners)
  • Size: Compact, easy to read

This creates a subtle, professional look that highlights important information without overwhelming the design.


Examples

Each credential appears as a small pill using your secondary color.

Service Restrictions

On service cards:

Initial Assessment - 60 min
