This article provides a helpful guide on creating color palettes for design systems.



Helpful. But when you got through a process such as this, please don't forget about accessiblity.

For example, there are tools to help check contrast. Another example, along with state color, be sure there's more to the signal to the user than only color. Appropriate copy and/or icons are essential. Green = good and red = bad don't mean much to people who are red-green color blind.

Finally, be aware that different colors have different meanings in different cultures.

Yes, colors matter. Of course. But there's more to it than aesthetics.
