Color shapes perception
Color influences trust, urgency, and clarity. The right palette can increase comprehension and conversion.
3 practical rules
- Contrast first: readability beats aesthetics
- Limit accents: 1–2 accent colors
- Match tone: serious vs playful vs premium
Common mistakes
- Too many brand colors in one screen
- Low-contrast text
- Meaning only by color (no icon/label)
Accessibility reminder
Never rely on color alone. Use icons + labels and keep contrast high.
Conclusion
Color should support the message. If users must “decode” the UI, the palette is working against you.
