Start with five colors, and add or subtract colors depending on how you develop your design.

When you have five colors, tints and shades can be applied. A content-rich page is a good example because it needs to separate the tables, captions, and the side bars from its content. The result unites the design and that a fourth or fifth color is no longer needed. The tints and shades can be utilized for added color. They do not clash with the color scheme.

The psychology of color is used by businesses to help product engagement. The restaurants chooses red and orange, financial institutions or banks uses blue, hotels is partial to blue, white, black or green. Luxury products chooses the elegant black in packaging.
