Frequently Asked Questions
How many colors should I use?
For most designs, 3-4 colors work best: a primary color, secondary color, accent color, and neutral. More than 5 colors can make a design feel chaotic.
What is the 60-30-10 rule?
The 60-30-10 rule suggests using your dominant color for 60% of the design, secondary for 30%, and accent for 10%. This creates a balanced, professional look.
Can I use these colors in production?
Yes! The exported CSS variables can be directly used in your production code. Always test for accessibility and contrast before deploying.
