Update for new learners: The foundations color generator plugin is now updated and automatically matches fill to style so you don't have to worry about it anymore!

@adada1st 2 года назад

This was extremely helpful - and the plugin is such a timesaver. Thanks again! Which primary color would you choose if the corporate design color is similar to the red error color?

@AMDesignAndDev Год назад

Make that the primary, but I'd choose a different shade that's not too in the user's face. Sorry for the late reply.

@vickyvijayraj Год назад

Hi can you explain the usage of primary secondary and accent colors in basic web design ( colors to use in nav bar,tabs,buttons )

@Hidekuma Год назад

Can I ask a question, Are there any rule or formula for general colors palette? The FE guy in my team ask if there any formula for that. Because Im using tool to general the colors just like this video

Can we use different opacity of a color as pallets?

@suzybee123 Год назад

Thanks for the great content! How would one save an opacity image overlay as a style? For example, product images that need an opacity overlay on top… How would we save this as a style for reuse? Thank you!

@AMDesignAndDev Год назад

Probably not, we can save it as a component.

@fernwehtwl Год назад

Im wondering why when I generate the palette the WAG codes are also produced too. How can I get them not to be generated with the color swatches? Im wondering if there is a setting I can disable. Does anyone know?

@okancingoz 9 месяцев назад

Hello, thanks for the information.I also want to use gradient colors in my design. Is there a plugin to add it to the palette in this way or should I add it manually?

@AMDesignAndDev 9 месяцев назад

I would say manually.

@shantikumar4482 Год назад

This is just a basic color creation which is mostly for newbies, there are lot other things you might need to include like combination of foreground and background. I would say to check all those matching scenarios.

@AMDesignAndDev Год назад

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by combination of foreground and background. Can you explain more?

@MuhammadFaheem-kc1sv Год назад

Hello, am Design. Thank you for creating the detailed video. I have a question regarding the necessity of incorporating success, danger, and warning colors. Are these colors essential even if they are not used in the app or web interface?

@AMDesignAndDev Год назад

No, but its highly unlikely that they won't be used. Most success/error stuff will be built on top of it, any alters, any error text, any success/danger buttons etc.

@jonzmoviebar7580 Год назад

I don't understand the reason why there's different profile such as Atlassian, Orbit and Ant Design.... I'm curious why one profile could potentially be better than other, I am only familiar with Material.

@archrao2103 2 года назад

Why do we need so many tints? Can you elaborate on how they can be used while designing the UI?

@TomiOnDesign 2 года назад

hovering over a button for example needs to be a little darker or lighter, can’t remember.

@MaxWeir Год назад

Not all colours may be used or needed, but it’s ideal to have a full range of each colour for when a use case might arise. Even for the neutrals having a full range gives you a set of colours to use for common ui elements such as text, borders, inputs, backgrounds to name a few. Further to that, if say you want to create an illustration, you’ll have a range of colours to draw from giving you more consistency in your brand across various user touch points

@shibambiswas415 Год назад

Please clear my confusion. Is it possible to edit Design System styles (colours or effects ) directly from another file when both files belong to the same team?

Nops, you have to do it in the original file.

@fernwehtwl Год назад

Thank you for creating this video! I have some questions I wanted to ask... 1) what if your primary/brand color was green wouldn't the success color clash with the primary color? I was also studying some design system work from another designer for design systems and he recommended to stick with 1 brand color and have 5 different variations. Its easier to do with having a monochromatic scheme but for people that prefer multiple colors its harder to do because you have many colors all happening at once and would that create more cognitive overload ? 2) Is there a reason why you used Atlassian and not other profiles?

@AMDesignAndDev Год назад

It may clash, but usually there are differences. No one (for the most part), would suggest use a substitute color for success or danger. No matter what app you're creating, and what brand colors you have, if you have a call feature lets say, and you want to add two buttons, for picking up a call and rejecting it, the buttons for the most part would be green and red. Whatsapp is an example of their, their primary brand color is green, but they'll still use the green for success. And sticking with 1 brand color is fine too, and if you want to go with something monochromatic, having shades of your primary can work. You don't need a secondary brand color to use all the time.

@fernwehtwl Год назад

@@AMDesignAndDev Wow thanks so much Asaad for the quick reply! Do you recommend to stick with one primary color and one neutral color for buttons or is it good design wise to also have a secondary color (less important)? For example green would be the primary CTA but the less important button could be a pale blue (secondary color)? I ended up choosing Material Design palette because it gave me more choices to choose for my color swatches :)

@AMDesignAndDev Год назад

@@fernwehtwl Ideally I'd say, stick with only one color for the buttons. So just use primary. The primary button can be solid. The secondary can be outlined. The tertiary can have a link color that's primary with no background or outline.

@fernwehtwl Год назад

@@AMDesignAndDev thank u that’s what I was thinking too ! I saw some designers have more than one color of button choice and I got a bit confused with what the design rule should be

@SuperDesigner85 2 года назад

What if we have multiple primary or secondary color?

@AMDesignAndDev 2 года назад

Then you can just use the same method to create multiple ones with different names. Though usually you just have one Primary and Secondary color, and then you can add tertiary or others, and accents maybe.

@wrangleroooo 4 месяца назад

@stephencarroll312 Год назад

where do we use primary and secondary colours, is it for buttons ?

@AMDesignAndDev Год назад

Yes, these can be used for buttons, tabs, checkboxes, links, alerts, and various other things.

@stephencarroll312 Год назад

@@AMDesignAndDev but when to use those 8 different shades say for example red ? i mea what the purpose of 8 red shades ? thanks

@AMDesignAndDev Год назад

@@stephencarroll312 I think there were 7 shades there, but even if you had 8, you can have two variants: 1. One with a solid danger button. 2. The other with a outlined danger button. Each button would have a different hover and active state, and the background would be different based on that.

@stephencarroll312 Год назад

@@AMDesignAndDev thank you mate

@stephencarroll312 Год назад

biggest question is - why so many colours ? when do we use those different shades you created ? every one is talking about generating various colours , but when to use what is a topic to discuss .. thanks

@AMDesignAndDev Год назад

I think I have already shown that when I'm creating the components for them.

@1deplatt 2 года назад

not sure why you have so many colors in your palette. 7 colors for Warning? I don't get it

@AMDesignAndDev 2 года назад

Thanks for asking, ideally you probably need only 3-4, I mentioned that in my video that we're going to generate them, as we may need specific shades, and then we can remove them if they are not being used in the project. I can tell you what different shades may be used for. Imagine a warning button. The solid variation of it may use w400, and text white. The hover for the solid may use w500. Now imagine having an outlined variation for the same warning button. The border may be: w400 Background: white text-color: w300/w400 On hover: border: w500 background: w50 text-color: w500 etc So we may need 3-4 shades, but yes, as you pointed out, we may honestly not need all of these shades, and may just be able to work with 3-4.

@velr8986 2 года назад

What is the purpose of the Neutral color, where elements will it be used? Tnx this is really helpful I'm new to UI design.

background color, text color, shadows and so on

@mardiyaz4287 Год назад

Learnt a great lot from this👏🏾 But why do you say “obviously” so much in your presentation though. It kind of isn’t so great trying to learn and you keep making it seem you’re stating an obvious thing to you, when your viewers are here to learn the not so obvious. It would be great if you could try work on that cuz you have helpful content that new learners like me are benefiting from😊

@AMDesignAndDev Год назад

Apologies Mardiya, I'll try to control that. Though I think I've reduced that to quite an extent in my newer videos. I truly appreciate you pointing this out.

@goldenant9450 Год назад

has anybody found a tutorial that doesnt contain the advice of chose whatever you want

@AMDesignAndDev Год назад

That would be unlikely, as the color usually cones from the brand guidelines of a client or project. If you want someone to tell you which colors to use and why, a video on color theory or brand guidelines would be better.

@AnindyaSengupta 2 месяца назад

Wt are you teaching? There is no sense, you start by trying to just change hue and suddenly start changing every value just because it doesn’t look right. Isnt there any guidelines
