Visual Language - Main Color

Qi Video follows the green color of iQIYI to strengthen brand association, which can play a very good role in publicity and brand unity. We adjusted the original green color to make the overall color brighter, in line with the young and fashionable positioning.

The contrast ratio between the main color and the dark background is 9.28, which can ensure a good display effect.

Four gradients are used in off-white to make the information presentation in each scene clearer, and it is convenient for users to identify important information more quickly.

Through the HSL color mode, change the lightness parameters, and adjust the color more intuitively and conveniently.
