The user interface is a common ground of software internals with environment. Parameterization of UI (user interface) allows to estimate success of the software product. UI can be judged quantitatively. In this article applicable metrics of the user interface are presented. The measurements on successful and unsuccessful software products are compared. The first group of metrics is about general usability of UI. In ideal systems these parameters have highest scores. In real world the scores may vary. It’s good practice to control the parameters during SW development. The help system metric and the error operation metric relate to easy to use characteristic of software. The user score metric shows subjective usability of the system. The time metric describes performance of the user interface. The regressions metric is to have quantity of user interface improvement.  The second group of metrics is about UI colors. There are different parameters that may tell how well the UI will be accepted by the users. The most useful are image standard metric, color function metric, number of colors metric, compatibility of colors metric. At the conclusion of the article some examples of the metrics for existing software are presented.
