Frequently asked questions
Short answers for common color workflow questions.
What are good website color schemes?
Good website color schemes combine strong hierarchy, readable contrast, and consistent accents that support user actions.
Should I use bright colors for CTAs?
Usually yes, but only if surrounding areas are controlled. CTA contrast works best when the rest of the interface stays balanced.
How do I choose colors for a SaaS website?
Start with a trust-forward primary hue, a neutral surface scale, and one action accent. Then test contrast in real sections.
