Open related toolStart with one core color
A strong brand palette starts with one recognizable core color. Secondary colors should support it instead of competing with it.
Create practical roles
Define colors for primary actions, backgrounds, text, borders, success, warning and error. This makes the palette useful in real interfaces.
Document the palette
Keep HEX, RGB and HSL values together, and include examples for buttons, cards and headings so the brand remains consistent.
