A card interface must not use a left accent bar.
Users consistently reject this design element. The visual clutter reduces usability and appeal.
A left accent bar adds a vertical line or border to the left side of a card. This design choice has been rejected by users in many tests. The extra visual element makes the card look less clean. It can distract the user from the card's main content.
A designer creates a new dashboard with information cards. Each card has a thin colored line on its left edge. Users give feedback that the cards look busy and unclear. The designer removes the left accent bars. Users then find the cards easier to read and more appealing.
