The Psychology of Color in Web Design
Color shapes perception and emotion. Choosing the right palette can build trust and guide action.

01Color sets the tone
Different colours evoke different feelings — blues and teals suggest trust and stability, warm tones convey energy and friendliness. Your palette should match the emotion you want your brand to project.
02Use color to guide
A restrained palette with one strong accent draws the eye to key actions like buttons and links. Too many competing colours dilute this and confuse users.
03Don't forget contrast
Accessible colour contrast isn't just compliance — it makes your content readable for everyone and improves usability in bright conditions and on lower-quality screens.
