Black and white Instagram highlight covers: what to know
This page starts the instagram highlight cover maker for this case. For every option and how to use it, see the instagram highlight cover maker.
White covers on a white profile
In light mode, Instagram's profile page is white too, so plain white covers can blend into it. A slightly warm white such as #f7f5f0 or a light grey like #eeeeee sets the circles apart. In dark mode, white covers stand out sharply.
Black symbols on white have the highest contrast you can get, so even small, thin symbols stay readable in the little circle.
Keeping it minimal
Use one style of symbol for the whole set: all outlined (♡ ☆ ✧) or all filled (★ ✦ ●). Mixing the two looks uneven at thumbnail size. For words, two or three capital letters, like Q&A or BTS, read better than lower case.
Questions
How do I make white highlight covers?
Set the background to white and the icon colour to black or a dark grey. This page opens that way, so you only need to choose your symbols.
Do black and white covers work in dark mode?
Yes. The white circles stand out more in dark mode than in light mode, where they sit on a white page.
