Frequently Asked Questions

What is a complementary color scheme?
Complementary colors sit opposite each other on the color wheel (e.g., blue and orange). They create high contrast and visual impact when used together.
How many colors should a palette have?
Most design systems use 3-5 primary colors: a dominant color, a secondary, an accent, and neutrals. Start with 3 and expand as needed.
