How to Apply a Color Palette to Your Design

How do I use a color palette? How many colors should I use? How will I know if my colors look good together? Making a color palette is the first step, but knowing how to use it is something else.

In this video, The Futur Creative Director, Greg Gunn, shares a handy color trick known as the 60-30-10 rule. He’ll explain what the rule is and how you can use it to give balance to your color palette. By the end of this video, you will understand how to come up with your own color ratio and give your palette purpose and consistency, wherever it is used.
