60-30-10 Rule for colors
evergreenUse the 60-30-10 rule for adding colors to a design.
- 60% for the dominant color
- 30% for the secondary color
- 10% for the accent color
These proportions create balance and prevent visual overload.
Typically, the dominant and secondary colors should be relatively neutral colors.
Reserve the accent color for what you want to stand out the most on your page — for example, the primary call to action.
