How to use website palettes

Start by assigning each color a job. Use the lightest color for the page background, the darkest color for body text, one color for buttons and links, and one or two supporting tones for cards, borders, charts, or decorative details.

A good website palette is not only attractive; it must stay readable across navigation, forms, product cards, pricing tables, and mobile layouts.

Suggested use

  • Background: the quietest light neutral
  • Text: the darkest stable color
  • Accent: the clearest brand or link color
  • Button: a color with strong contrast against the background

Design tips

  • Limit primary accents to one color family.
  • Use neutral surfaces for dense product pages.
  • Check contrast before shipping.
  • Keep decorative colors away from critical controls.
