Describe the atmosphere first

Write a few words about the mood—quiet, luminous, nostalgic, grounded, playful, dramatic. Then choose colors that support that emotional direction instead of collecting attractive colors at random.

Limit before you expand

A focused palette creates cohesion. Begin with a restrained set, make the work, then add another color only when the composition genuinely needs it.

Take this idea into Rich Palette™.

Generate variations, compare harmonies, test accessibility, save the palette to your library, and build a reusable color system for your project.
