Frequently Asked Questions

What is a complementary color scheme?

Complementary colors sit directly opposite each other on the color wheel (e.g., blue and orange). They create high contrast and visual tension, making them great for call-to-action buttons and attention-grabbing designs.

How many colors should a brand palette have?

A typical brand palette has 3-5 colors: a primary color, a secondary color, an accent color, and 1-2 neutral colors. Too many colors can create visual inconsistency.

What is a monochromatic palette?

A monochromatic palette uses variations of a single hue by adjusting its saturation and lightness. It creates a cohesive, elegant look and is the easiest harmony to implement effectively.
