A good UI isn't just about layout and typography—color plays a huge role in creating a clean and consistent user experience. I've found that choosing the right color combinations early in the design process saves a lot of time later.
Instead of repeatedly changing HEX values in CSS or tweaking colors in design software, I first experiment with different combinations using a Color Combiner. It lets me compare colors quickly and settle on a palette before I start styling components.
Here are a few ways this helps my workflow:
Create consistent button, background, and accent colors.
Test multiple color combinations before writing CSS.
Reduce unnecessary design revisions.
Maintain a cohesive design system across pages.
Speed up collaboration between design and development.
This approach is especially useful when building dashboards, landing pages, SaaS products, or any interface where visual consistency matters.
I'm curious how other developers and designers handle color selection. Do you rely on design tools, CSS variables, or another workflow to create and refine your UI color palettes?
