## Description I want to redesign and refocus my internet presence, especially for [[dalechang.dev]], and so I want to start with colors as they kind of set the whole look-and-feel of my brand and perception. ## Limitations ### Success, Warning, Error I definitely want some shade of green, orange, and red for common UI elements, which means that the other colors (primary, secondary, tertiary) need to steer away from being too similar. ### Monochromatic Personally I feel that monochromatic palettes don't do well in general unless they are focused around earthy tones. ### Light Theme? Dark Theme? Both? Going with both themes definitely increases the complexity of color design and it's not something that I would be keen on handling myself. Personally I'd like to stick with dark themes. ### Inspiration - Nothing too flashy - Nightcore might be nice - Space themes fit my background and interests ## Notes ### Swatch 1 ![[color-palette-1.png]] - Teal: `#219C90` - Yellow: `#E9B824` - Orange: `#EE9322` - Red: `#D83F31` #### Reactions I like this because the "success", "warning", "error" colors are all there. The colors are pretty saturated so they pop out at you. I could imagine this in a Material-style project. I could imagine putting these colors into a palette and seeing what auto-generated colors come up. #### Auto-Generated Relatives - Charcoal: `#464655` - Anti-flash White: `#E8E9EB` - Caput Mortuum: `#522A27` - Mauve: `#E4C1F9` - Dark Purple: `#2C1320` - Light Green: `#A9FDAC` - Light Cyan: `#D7F9FF` - Baby Powder: `#FCFFFD` - Lapiz Lazuli: `#125E8A` - Royal Purple: `#7768AE` - Tang Blue: `#2B59C3` - Manhattan Pink: `#9A7AA0` I like the Lapiz Lazuli and Tang Blue as the primary and any of the following as secondary: Manhattan Pink, Royal Purple, Mauve.
