Golden Design Styles

Another common type of golden rule refers to the attributes of interface objects. Examples of such rules include:

• Use silver colors for the background of screens and controls
• Use serif fonts for printed text and sans-serif fonts for display
• Use standard fonts of standard sizes for titles, menus, buttons etc.

Typically, the proponents of this kind of style guide are vendors who invest in documentation, reinforcing the industry standards that favor their products.
