Color Basics

Color is one of the fastest ways to communicate emotion. It shapes mood, meaning, and recognition. A thoughtful color system supports your brand’s personality and creates a consistent visual experience.

Effective color choices help you:

  • Create emotional resonance

  • Strengthen visual consistency

  • Improve clarity and readability

When your palette is intentional, your brand feels unified and more memorable.

Choose colors that reflect your personality

Every color carries an emotional cue. Select hues that align with the tone and character of your brand so your visuals feel authentic.

Use contrast to improve readability

Strong contrast makes content clear and accessible. Prioritize legibility so your audience can absorb information without strain.

Keep your palette focused

A tight color system creates consistency. Limit your palette to a few core colors and supporting accents to avoid visual overload.
