Do you ever wonder how many colors your brand's color palette should have? It can feel a little overwhelming! Putting together the PERFECT palette for your business can feel a bit like getting lost in rows of paint chips at Lowe's. 🎨

The color connoisseurs say a good rule of thumb to follow to ensure harmony AND legibility is:
👉 2-3 primary hues
👉 3-4 secondary shades

Between those colors, you should include:
🪄a lighter color
🪄a darker color
🪄a high contrasting color for accents & CTAs
