Color

Design a color system for a single hi-fi interface. Start with a small palette: one primary color, one supporting accent, a neutral scale, and semantic colors for success, warning, and error. Show how those colors map to real UI parts instead of swatches alone.

Apply the palette to backgrounds, text, icons, buttons, links, and status badges. Include at least one interactive state set so hover, active, disabled, and focus treatments are visible. Keep the hierarchy clear: the page should still read when color is reduced to neutrals.

Use color to separate surfaces, direct attention, and communicate status. Test the combinations you choose against contrast, especially body text, button labels, and small UI labels. If you introduce dark mode or an alternate surface, keep the same role structure so the system feels consistent.

Remember, colors can be culturally specific in meaning, so consider your target audience. Plus, have fun with it—try a tool like Adobe Color to experiment with palettes and find the perfect match!
