Brand palette workflow
Start with the brand hue, then define supporting roles around contrast and frequency of use. A color can be on-brand but still unsuitable for body text or disabled states.
- Choose one primary color and one restrained accent.
- Create at least one darker shade for text-on-color buttons.
- Define neutral colors separately instead of tinting every surface with the brand hue.
