The solution that we discussed for this bug was for Jamie to publish an overview graphic (or multiple) that shows all the components and their color (in different themes). That way it is easy to look up what the colors are used for.

Status in Ubuntu UX: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Looking at SectionStyle.qml [1], it seems the section headers use theme.palette.selected.backgroundTertiaryText to set the color. As I understand backgroundText, backgroundSecondaryText and backgroundTertiaryText are used to denote levels. The page sections have only 1 label and thereby should use theme.palette.selected.backgroundText instead. On talking to timp, he did make me understand that the main page header uses backgroundText while the section headers uses tertiaryText which does make sense. But that is something other app devs won't think of. May be the solution is to show a visual illustration where each SDK component shows what palette color it is using. Do note that this is not about which set (normal, disabled, selected, highlighted) to use, but rather the actual palette value.
