Fonts and Colors Used by Popular Social Media Sites

Social login buttons & links to social media channels — in 2023, still a thing in web design and app design. What business isn’t these days on social media?

They’re a necessity! It’s pretty handy to know the different formats for font colors and graphics used by social networks.

Every time we design an app or a website, it is something we “Google.” For instance, “Facebook blue,” “Facebook hex value” & “What’s the color that Facebook uses?” “Facebook fonts and colors.”
