Color Scheme 

Logical vs. Physical Colors

The following table provides an overview of the (ABAP) colors available to developers, together with their descriptions. These (logical) colors are reserved for particular list components. To determine how logical colors appear on a certain platform, you use the color customizer to assign specific shades (physical colors) to the logical colors.

The table also gives the names of the physical colors (for example, yellow) as delivered with the standard setting. When coloring lists, you should refer to this setting. However, users can change each of the listed colors to suit individual preferences.

Exception: The colors COL_POSITIVE and COL_NEGATIVE should always be green or red, because they represent threshold values.

The INTENSIFIED flag is now used for colors and no longer for highlighting as the name suggests. In the default setting, it converts saturated colors to desaturated. However, the user can change this setting.
