🎯 Choose Colors by Intent
Start with the action you want the user to take. Warm accents (orange, coral) push urgency, while blues and teals build trust. Use neutrals to keep focus on key actions.
💡 Quick Rule
Keep your primary CTA color unique on the page. If everything is accented, nothing stands out.
🧪 Test Contrast, Not Just Colors
Contrast is what makes a button feel clickable. Pair a bold CTA color with a calm background and check your contrast ratios so text stays readable on mobile.
Color Psychology Checklist
- Limit to 1 primary and 1 accent color
- Use neutrals to reduce visual noise
- Match palette to industry expectations
- Test contrast on mobile screens
- Keep CTAs visually consistent
