About colors

by Kumi Akiyoshi

We are excited to see that the color palette for UX Intensive is posted in Colour Lovers !

Colors are a part of everyday life. I use expressions that are associated with colors - I feel blue, I feel pink, it’s in red, etc…
Selecting colors can be tricky since colors can evoke a variety of emotional associations in people.

Here are some of the strategies for creating color palettes for brand ID systems:

  • Align with brand strategy
  • Make it distinctive to differentiate
  • Make it sustainable
  • Make it appropriate for the business
  • Make it positive and delightful (or negative and depressing if appropriate)
  • Make it memorable
  • Make sure that it works across variety of media

What are your strategies for selecting the colors?
