Color is one of the most important design tools. The choice of tool depends on the concept of the project, the brand and the personal preferences of the designer. If used correctly, the color will make a project expressive and eye-catching. Why? Elements that live in the same style, not only in terms of typography and placement on the page but also in terms of color design, create a unified visual style.
