I’d love your opinion on this one: should the tags and icons use the primary color, or should I bring in the tertiary color as the accent? I can also adjust the shade lighter or darker, but I want the version that feels best overall. What would you go with?
A color palette with six swatches and no hierarchy is just a list. You need to know which color carries the brand, which one carries information, which is for emphasis, and which stays in the background.
