How to make your own color palettes
<p>Working with color is hard. No argument there, but do you know what’s even harder? Pairing colors together. Think about the last time you built a color palette from scratch. What was your process? How did it look? If you answered with a visible *shrug* then keep reading.</p>
<p>We covered the basics of what color is and how it works in <a href="https://modus.medium.com/how-to-not-suck-at-color-b3980ee8084a" rel="noopener">How to Not Suck at Color</a>, but now that you’re hue literate, it’s time we do something more interesting. Like building our own set of color palettes.</p>
<p>Oh, and we’re going to build them all from <em>one color</em>.</p>
<p>That sounds clickbait-y, doesn’t it? I mean it though. We’ll start with a single color of your choice and through guided magic develop an array of color palettes to use. Think of this like a method to sketch with color.</p>
<p><strong>Quick disclaimer: </strong>This is by no means a replacement for learning how color works and developing your own process for using it. However, if you are interested in doing so, I <a href="https://thefutur.com/color" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">teach a course</a> about color theory and go deep on how I use it. Also, it’s a go-at-your-own-pace kind of class, so you can learn on your own time.</p>
<p>Disclaimer over. Let’s get back to the exercise.</p>
