Use the 60-30-10 rule: 60% dominant color, 30% secondary color, and 10% accent color for optimal visual balance.

♿ Consider Accessibility

Ensure sufficient contrast ratios between text and background colors to meet WCAG accessibility guidelines.

📱 Test Across Devices

Verify your color palette looks great on different screens and lighting conditions before finalizing your design.
