It looks simple, but I spent 3 hours on this section. Does it look better with or without the color?
Pink
Grey

I feel the color gives it more life

You're right—in the context of this specific section, I agree with you; the color really stands out. But for the entire site, gray is better; I've already tested about 10 variations.

Grey looks minimalist

I think so too—the next section has eye-catching interactive elements, and the gray background doesn't draw as much attention

Three hours well spent, the High-Fidelity finish shows! ✨ As a social media manager, I’m curious: does the color version align better with the rest of the brand’s Visual Authority, or does the monochrome version help the content breathe more? Both look incredibly professional!

The gray version fits into the overall look here, but I've already tweaked it a bit, again 😂
