Every designer has a favorite color, and you can spot it in their portfolio in two seconds 💜 Mine is Electric violet. Not one exact code, more like a whole family of shades. It plays well with almost anything, and honestly, it just looks good. No matter the brief, it always finds its way in 😅 Here’s the proof. Your turn, community: which color keeps sneaking into your work, even when nobody asked for it? 🎨

Orange is such a bold choice! 🍊 It definitely knows how to make a design stand out! 😄

Glad purple makes the list! 💜

The palette swatch in each corner ties the four frames into one system, and "It's the invisible force" is a great line on that grid. Does Electric violet ever lose to a client's brand colors?
Elvira's avatar
Thank you! And absolutely, the client's brand always comes first. I love finding ways to bring my favourite shades into a project, but the palette has to serve the brand and the brief. Sometimes that means letting violet take a back seat! 😄
