Meaningful use of colors
Color sets the mood & emotion which can affect how users interact with an app.
Why Color Hierarchy Matters
Using Colors With Intention Creates A Clear Visual Structure And Guides User Focus. Without It, Interfaces Feel Chaotic Or Confusing.
Primary Colors – The Main Driver
Used For Key Actions (Like CTAs), Logo/Brand Color, Or Anything The User Should Focus On Immediately.
Secondary Colors – Supportive Yet Subtle
Complement The Primary, Guide Secondary Actions Like "Learn More" Or Category Tags.It Often Appears In Muted Tones, Ensuring They Are Noticeable Yet Not Competing With Primary Calls-To-Action.
Accent Colors – Draw The Eye
Used Sparingly To Highlight Alerts, Links, Ratings, Or Progress.
Neutral Colors – The Unsung Heroes
Used For Text, Backgrounds, Dividers. They Let Primary Elements Shine While Keeping Everything Readable And Balanced.
