How to use a gray color palette

  • Let gray lead, covering about 60% of the design, and keep the rest for neutrals and one accent (the 60-30-10 rule).
  • Use a light tint of gray for backgrounds and a deep shade for text, so the palette stays readable.
  • For contrast, add a small accent from the opposite side of the color wheel: see complementary colors.
  • Check every text and background pair in the contrast checker before you ship.
