Gray and Neutrals
The gray family—encompassing Gray, Slate, Zinc, Neutral, and Stone—forms the backbone of most design systems. These colors are ideal for backgrounds, borders, and subtle text. They create a neutral tone, often used to balance more vibrant colors. Whether you're aiming for something modern and sleek or soft and understated, these tones are indispensable in web design.

Warm Tones
The warm colors—Red, Orange, Amber, and Yellow—inject energy and emotion into designs. Red conveys urgency or importance, while Orange and Amber offer a more inviting and friendly vibe. Yellow stands out as an eye-catching highlight, often used to signal positivity or draw attention to key elements.

Cool Tones
Lime, Green, Emerald, Teal, and Cyan offer a range of cool tones that bring calmness and stability to designs. Green, traditionally associated with nature and health, is excellent for eco-friendly or growth-related messaging. Teal and Cyan, with their cooler blue undertones, add a sense of modernity and freshness.

Blue Spectrum
Sky, Blue, and Indigo represent the classic blue spectrum, offering versatility from light and airy to dark and moody. These colors are often used for links, calls to action, and branding, evoking feelings of trust and reliability. Indigo, being slightly deeper, often carries a sense of sophistication.

Purples and Pinks
Violet, Purple, Fuchsia, Pink, and Rose bring a sense of creativity and playfulness to designs. Purple and Violet lean toward luxury and elegance, while Fuchsia, Pink, and Rose introduce a softer, more emotional appeal. These colors are perfect for projects that need a creative or feminine touch.
