Breaking changes

Use GOV.UK brand colours

We’ve updated GOV.UK Frontend to use the web palette defined by the GOV.UK Brand guidelines, as well as the 25% and 50% shades when they exist for a given colour.

Check your service’s colours

Our components now use the colours of the GOV.UK web palette. If you’re using any custom colours, you’ll need to make sure they still work well with the new web palette in terms of accessibility and design. If possible, you should use the GOV.UK brand colours instead.

Use the govuk-colour function to access GOV.UK brand colours

You can use the govuk-colour function to fetch colours from the GOV.UK web palette. This function allows you to access both primary colours and their variants, such as tints and shades.

When the function receives only the colour name, it’ll return the primary variant of that colour. For example:

$app-colour: govuk-colour('blue'); // Returns the ‘Primary blue’ colour

Use the new $variant parameter of the govuk-colour function to access the tints and shades of a colour defined by the GOV.UK brand.

$component-colour: govuk-colour('red', $variant: 'tint-25') // Returns the “Red tint 25%” colour
$other-component-colour: govuk-colour('green', $variant: 'shade-50') // Returns the “Green shade 50%” colour

You can find the list of possible colour names in the GOV.UK brand guidelines.

If you’re already using the govuk-colour function

If you’re already using the govuk-colour function in your project, colours from the GOV.UK web palette will now be applied automatically when you call the function.

If the colour name exists in the GOV.UK web palette, the function returns the primary variant for that colour. The colour remains the same for‘blue, yellow and orange, but the following colours will see a slight change:

Colour	Old colour hex	New colour hex
green	#00703c	#11875a
red	#d4351c	#ca3535
purple	#4c2c92	#54319f
brown	#b58840	#99704a

Some of the GOV.UK brand colours are slightly different from the colours that were returned by govuk-colour before GOV.UK Frontend v6.0. That means you’ll need to check that the colours still work correctly where you applied them in your project, in terms of accessibility and design.

To make it easier to upgrade, in cases where a colour name does not exist in the GOV.UK brand palette (for example, bright-purple), the function will return the closest colour from the GOV.UK brand palette but produce a deprecation warning. We recommend that you update your calls to govuk-colour with deprecated colour names to use a colour from the GOV.UK brand, such as the one suggested in the deprecation warning message.

govuk-colour now maps colour names that no longer exist from the old palette to the new palette, as described in the following table. You can use this list to assess and update your use of govuk-colour.

Old colour name	Old colour hex	New colour name	New colour hex
light-pink	#f499be	Magenta tint 50%	#e59abe
pink	#d53880	Primary magenta	#ca357c
light-green	#85994b	Green tint 25%	#4da583
turquoise	#28a197	Primary teal	#158187
light-blue	#5694ca	Blue tint 25%	#5694ca
dark-blue	#003078	Blue shade 50%	#0f385c
light-purple	#6f72af	Purple tint 25%	#7f65b7
bright-purple	#912b88	Magenta shade 25%	#98285d
dark-grey	#505a5f	Black tint 25%	#484949
mid-grey	#b1b4b6	Black tint 80%	#cecece
light-grey	#f3f2f1	Black tint 95%	#f3f3f3

If you’re using the $govuk-colours variable

We’ve removed the $govuk-colours variable from GOV.UK Frontend, to only allow access to the colours through the govuk-colour function.

If you were accessing the GOV.UK Frontend colours with map-get($govuk-colours, <COLOUR_NAME>), you’ll now need to use govuk-colour(<COLOUR_NAME>).

We made these changes in the following pull requests:

• #6326: Use brand palette through govuk-colour
• #6335: Update button colours to use govuk_palette
• #6336: Update tag colours to use govuk_palette
• #6337: Update file upload colours to use govuk_palette

Stop using the $legacy parameter in the govuk-colour function

We’ve removed the $legacy parameter of the govuk-colour function, so you should remove any usage of it.

We made this change in pull request #6326: Use brand palette through govuk-colour.

Stop using govuk-tint and govuk-shade

The govuk-tint and govuk-shade functions for applying tints and shades to colours by percentage are now deprecated and no longer work. They now only return the colour you pass to them, as well as a Sass warning. We’ll remove the govuk-tint and govuk-shade functions in the final release of 6.0.0.

We recommend replacing them with tints and shades from the new GOV.UK colour palette that are as close as possible to your existing implementation.

We made this change in pull request #6341: Deactivate govuk-tint and govuk-shade functions.

Fixes

We've made fixes to GOV.UK Frontend in the following pull requests:

• #6338: Fix hover state on focused small radios

GOV.UK Frontend v5.13.0

To install this version with npm, run npm install [email protected]. You can also find more information about how to stay up to date in our documentation.

New features

Use Sass functions to create custom media queries

We've added new Sass functions to help write @media and @container queries, mixins and functions whilst still using GOV.UK Frontend's $govuk-breakpoints setting.

You can create min-width and max-width queries using the govuk-from-breakpoint and govuk-until-breakpoint functions:

.element {
  color: red;

  @media #{govuk-from-breakpoint(mobile)} and #{govuk-until-breakpoint(desktop)} {
    color: blue;
  }
}

You can get the configured value of a breakpoint using govuk-breakpoint-value:

@function wider-than-tablet($width) {
  @return $width > govuk-breakpoint-value(tablet);
}

Each of these functions allows for passing a custom breakpoint map. This can be useful if a particular component needs to change layout at different dimensions to the rest of the site and for authoring @container queries.

$component-breakpoints: (
  small: 300px,
  medium: 500px,
  large: 750px
);

.element {
  color: red;

  @container #{govuk-from-breakpoint(small, $component-breakpoints)} {
    color: blue;
  }
}

We've rewritten the internals of the govuk-media-query mixin to make use of these new functions. The rewritten mixin should work identically and return the same CSS as the previous version, but you may want to make sure that your existing media queries work as expected.

We made these changes in the following pull requests:

• #6264: Add media query functions.
• #6265: Rewrite govuk-media-query, remove dependency on sass-mq.

Recommended changes

Rename ellipses HTML class in pagination to ellipsis

Within the pagination component, change the govuk-pagination__item--ellipses class to govuk-pagination__item--ellipsis.

We introduced this change in pull request #5882: Rename ellipses html class to ellipsis. Thanks to @frankieroberto for making this change.

New features

The Service navigation component no longer uses a menu on mobile for a single link

If you're using our Nunjucks macros, the Service navigation component will no longer collapse the navigation behind a Menu toggle on mobile if there's only one navigation link.

You can control this behaviour using the new collapseNavigationOnMobile Nunjucks option.

If you're not using our Nunjucks macros, you can recreate this behaviour by omitting the Menu <button> element when there is only one navigation item.

We made this change in pull request #6016: Don’t use menu for service nav with a single link.

Add inverse styling to Service navigation for use on product pages

If you enable the GOV.UK rebrand, you can now add the govuk-service-navigation--inverse class to the Service navigation component to use white links on a blue background.

This allows the rebranded GOV.UK header and Service navigation components to flow seamlessly with any following components that have a blue background, as is common on GOV.UK Digital Service Platform pages.

We made this change in pull request #6015: Add inverse variant to Service navigation component.

You'll now see a deprecation warning if you're using LibSass

If you're using the deprecated LibSass library, you'll now see this deprecation warning when compiling your Sass:

It looks like you may be using LibSass to compile your Sass. LibSass is deprecated and will not be supported by the next major version of GOV.UK Frontend. See https://sass-lang.com/libsass/ for more information. To silence this warning, update $govuk-suppressed-warnings with key: "libsass"

We made this change in pull request #5993: Warn if Sass is compiled using libsass.

Deprecated features

Replace references to CSS custom properties for breakpoints

We've renamed the CSS custom properties for breakpoints to simplify the prefix from --govuk-frontend to just --govuk.

Old name	New name
--govuk-frontend-breakpoint-mobile	--govuk-breakpoint-mobile
--govuk-frontend-breakpoint-tablet	--govuk-breakpoint-tablet
--govuk-frontend-breakpoint-desktop	--govuk-breakpoint-desktop

You can still use the old names, but we'll remove them in the next breaking release (GOV.UK Frontend v6.0.0).

We made this change in pull request #6014: Simplify prefix for breakpoint custom properties.

Fixes

We've updated the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file of the GOV.UK logo to fix some imperfections visible at high zoom levels. Thanks to @matteason for reporting this.

We made this change in pull request #6036: Fix some wordmark artifacts at high zoom levels.

We've also made fixes to GOV.UK Frontend in the following pull requests:

• #6029: Fix background colour of .govuk-template--rebranded

GOV.UK Frontend v5.11.0-internal.0

Caution

This version must not be used in production, only to help you prepare ahead of time to the changes that will be brought by GOV.UK Frontend 5.11

To install this version with npm, run npm install [email protected]. You can also find more information about how to stay up to date in our documentation.

New features

The Service navigation component no longer uses a menu on mobile for a single link

If you're using our Nunjucks macros, the Service navigation component will no longer collapse the navigation behind a 'Menu' toggle if there is only one navigation item.

You can control this behaviour using the new collapseNavigationOnMobile Nunjucks option.

If you are not using our Nunjucks macros, you can recreate this behaviour by omitting the 'Menu' <button> element if there is only one navigation item.

This change was introduced in pull request #6016: Don’t use menu for service nav with a single link.

Added inverse styling to Service navigation for use on product pages

When the GOV.UK rebrand is enabled, you can now add the govuk-service-navigation--inverse class to the Service navigation component to use white links on a blue background.

This allows the rebranded GOV.UK header and Service navigation to flow seamlessly with subsequent components that have a blue background, as is common on GOV.UK Digital Service Platform pages.

This change was made in pull request #6015: Add inverse variant to Service navigation component.

Deprecated features

Replace references to CSS custom properties for breakpoints

We've renamed the CSS custom properties for breakpoints to simplify the prefix from --govuk-frontend to just --govuk.

Old name	New name
--govuk-frontend-breakpoint-mobile	--govuk-breakpoint-mobile
--govuk-frontend-breakpoint-tablet	--govuk-breakpoint-tablet
--govuk-frontend-breakpoint-desktop	--govuk-breakpoint-desktop

You can still use the old names, but we'll remove them in the next breaking release (GOV.UK Frontend v6.0.0).

This change was introduced in pull request #6014: Simplify prefix for breakpoint custom properties.

New features

Prepare to use the refreshed GOV.UK brand

We’ve added features from the latest version of GOV.UK Frontend to help more services implement GOV.UK’s refreshed brand. Ahead of the brand’s go-live date of 25 June 2025, you should prepare your service by updating its code. You’ll then need to deploy the changes to production on 25 June 2025 or as soon after this date as possible.

The changes affect these components:

• GOV.UK header
• GOV.UK footer
• Cookie banner

The changes also affect the theme-color metadata and updated assets, including:

• icons
• Open Graph image
• manifest.json

To help you get ready, we've published this release, which includes several features to make the necessary updates across your service:

• updated markup for the GOV.UK header component (with the refreshed logo) and GOV.UK footer component (adding the crown logo)
• a new govuk-template--rebranded HTML class to apply updated styles from our CSS
• a new set of assets for icons, Open Graph image and page metadata

You’ll need to serve the new assets in your service. After that, what you’ll need to do depends on the code in your service and if you use GOV.UK Frontend:

• with its Nunjucks page template and macros
• with its Nunjucks macros (without the page template)
• without using Nunjucks

Add the brand refresh assets to your project

GOV.UK Frontend provides updated assets for the icons, Open Graph image and manifest.json to reflect the refreshed brand. These assets are available in the dist/govuk/assets/rebrand folder of the package.

Additionally, for the brand refresh, we’ve changed the names, formats and sizes of icon assets we distribute in Frontend.

Check that you’ve copied the following files from the /assets/rebrand/ directory to the correct place and are serving them at the correct URLs:

• manifest.json
• images/favicon.ico
• images/favicon.svg
• images/govuk-icon-180.png
• images/govuk-icon-192.png
• images/govuk-icon-512.png
• images/govuk-icon-mask.svg
• images/govuk-opengraph-image.png

If you serve the assets from the GOV.UK Frontend assets folder, make sure you’re serving the assets inside the dist/govuk/assets/rebrand folder correctly at <YOUR-SITE-URL>/assets/rebrand.

If you copy the font and image files into your application, you’ll need to copy the dist/govuk/assets/rebrand folder to <YOUR-APP>/assets/rebrand. If you use an automated task to copy the files, you may need to update your task to automatically copy our new folder.

Use the refreshed GOV.UK brand if you're using our Nunjucks page template

If you can edit your Nunjucks environment, you can add a govukRebrand global value to your environment, with a value of true. This global value makes the affected components use new styles for the brand refresh and display the updated assets (such as the refreshed logo in the GOV.UK header component and the crown in the GOV.UK footer component).

nunjucksEnv.addGlobal('govukRebrand', true)

If you cannot edit your Nunjucks environment, you can use our new govukRebrand 'variable' option from our page template, which makes:

• the Cookie banner component use new styles for the brand refresh
• the GOV.UK header and GOV.UK footer components rendered in the header and footer blocks display updated assets (such as the refreshed logo in the GOV.UK header component and the crown in the GOV.UK footer component)

If you’ve overridden the header or footer block, see the next sections to make sure your header or footer displays the updated assets.

Use set to assign the govukRebrand variable a value of true and enable the new styles:

{% set govukRebrand = true %}

Do not place this code snippet between any block and endblock lines. Place it on a separate line.

If you’ve previously customised the template's assetPath, assetUrl or opengraphImageUrl options, you may need to update these to point to the location of the updated icons, Open Graph image and manifest.json.

Use the refreshed GOV.UK brand if you're using Nunjucks macro (without the page template)

You can do this by adding the updated styles for these components:

• GOV.UK header
• GOV.UK footer
• Cookie banner

Add the govuk-template--rebranded class to the <html> element of your page to apply the updated styles to all affected components.

Enable the refreshed GOV.UK logo by adding rebrand: true to the GOV.UK header component configuration.

{{ govukHeader({
  rebrand: true
}) }}

Enable the GOV.UK crown in the GOV.UK footer component by addingrebrand: true to the component configuration.

{{ govukFooter({
  rebrand: true
}) }}

To use our updated social icon assets, change the HTML inside your element to use the new file path (from /assets/ to /assets/rebrand/) and theme-color metadata.

<meta name="theme-color" content="#1d70b8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<link rel="icon" sizes="48x48" href="/assets/rebrand/images/favicon.ico">
<link rel="icon" sizes="any" href="/assets/rebrand/images/favicon.svg" type="image/svg+xml">
<link rel="mask-icon" href="/assets/rebrand/images/govuk-icon-mask.svg" color="#1d70b8">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/assets/rebrand/images/govuk-icon-180.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="/assets/rebrand/manifest.json">
<meta property="og:image" content="<SERVICE URL>/assets/rebrand/images/govuk-opengraph-image.png">

Use the refreshed GOV.UK brand if you're not using Nunjucks

To use the refreshed GOV.UK brand if you’re not using Nunjucks, start by adding the govuk-template--rebranded class to the <html> element of your page to apply the updated styles to all affected components.

As you make changes, use the examples on our website to check your updates:

• GOV.UK header
• GOV.UK footer
• Cookie banner

We've updated the GOV.UK logo to merge the GOV.UK text with the crown graphic. This makes sure the full logo is always rendered correctly even if parts of the page, such as CSS or the Transport webfont, fail to load. To use the updated logo, replace the <svg> element and ‘GOV.UK’ text inside govuk-header__logotype-text <span> element in your header with the following SVG code to display the refreshed GOV.UK logo:

<svg
