How to
Choose Right Color Palette
Explore critical tips and strategies for aligning color ideas with your designs and mood to pick the perfect palette for your project.
Consider the purpose
Tailor your color palette based on the type of project, whether it's branding, web design, product packaging, or interior decor. Each design context demands a unique color palette.
Understand your target audience
Different audiences connect with colors differently based on age, culture, and preferences. Younger audiences prefer bright colors, and older audiences prefer subtle and muted colors.

High contrast between color palettes improves legibility and draws attention to essential elements. Color contrast is critical where readability and user management are essential.
