Tips for Creating Better Palettes

Start with Purpose

Consider your project’s goals and target audience before generating colors. A children’s toy website needs different colors than a law firm’s corporate site.

Test in Context

Colors look different depending on their surroundings. Always test your chosen palette in the actual context where it will be used.

Consider Cultural Meanings

Colors have different associations across cultures. Research your audience to avoid unintended messages or negative connotations.
