Picking colors for a UX design project can be frustrating. Whether you need to adapt to an existing brand guideline, or pick a scheme for a new product, the color selection process can feel daunting. The options appear limitless. Adjusting one of the colors inevitably changes the balance. In addition, color preferences are subjective and it can be difficult to articulate the choices you made.

In this workshop, we will make balanced color palettes to answer specific design objectives, practice explaining the reasoning behind the decisions we made, and use physical paper swatches as an alternative to a digital process.
