A COLOR PALETTE IS NOT A COLOR SYSTEM
Many startup brands choose colors based on taste.
But a strong visual system gives every color a job.
BACKGROUND
Creates atmosphere and visual stability.
TEXT
Protects clarity and readability.
CTA
Directs attention toward the next action.
SIGNAL
Highlights what is active, important, or distinctive.
WARNING
Communicates risk without competing with the main brand signal.
SURFACE
Separates information, layers, and applications.
