Mastering Color: A Developer & Designer's Guide

The Art of Palettes

A good color palette is foundational to design. Aim for a primary color for branding, a secondary for accents, and neutral colors (like grays) for text and backgrounds to create a balanced and visually appealing user interface.

Understanding Color Harmony

Color harmony refers to the theory of combining colors in a way that is pleasing to the eye. Common schemes include Monochromatic (tints and shades of one color), Analogous (colors next to each other on the color wheel), and Complementary (opposite colors).

HEX, RGB, HSL & Opacity

HEX, RGB (Red, Green, Blue), and HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) are ways to define colors in code. HSL is often more intuitive for adjustments, while RGBA/HSLA add an alpha channel for controlling opacity, crucial for overlays and modern UI effects.
