5 Tips for Better Color Combinations

Choosing the right colors for your website can make or break your design. Here are five tips to help you nail your color palette.

1. Start with Brand Colors

Your brand colors should form the foundation. Keystone’s primary and secondary color settings are perfect for these.

2. Check Contrast Ratios

Keystone warns you when color combinations don’t meet accessibility standards. Pay attention to these warnings.

3. Use the 60-30-10 Rule

60% neutral colors, 30% secondary color, 10% accent. This creates visual balance.

4. Consider Dark Mode

What looks great in light mode might not work in dark mode. Test both configurations.

5. Test on Real Content

Colors can look different in context. Always test your palette with real content and images.
