Why it happens: Picking colors without contrast validation causes readability failures.
Fix: Extract palette anchors from brand imagery.
Why it happens: Using inconsistent conversion values creates design-to-code drift.
Fix: Standardize values across HEX/RGB/HSL.
Theory: HEX/RGB/HSL/CMYK represent the same color in different workflows.
When to use: Convert when moving between design tools and codebases.
Common mistake: Manual conversion errors due to retyping values.
Theory: Dominant colors can align UI with brand imagery and visual storytelling.
When to use: Extract from hero assets to build cohesive themes.
Common mistake: Using noisy shadow tones as primary brand colors.
Theory: Progressive blends require balanced stops and angle logic.
When to use: Build hero backgrounds and callout surfaces with controlled contrast.
Common mistake: Creating gradients that reduce text legibility.
Theory: Readable typography depends on luminance contrast, not hue preference.
