Professional Best Practices

Smart Usage Tips

  • Add white or black text overlays to improve readability on colored backgrounds
  • Use desaturated versions (reduce saturation by 20-30%) for large background areas to prevent visual fatigue
  • Add warm accent colors to create focal points and prevent designs from feeling too cold
  • Ensure sufficient lighting contrast for text elements—use light text on dark backgrounds
  • Test your palette across different devices and lighting conditions before finalizing

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't use all colors equally—establish clear visual hierarchy through color weight
  • Avoid low-contrast text combinations that strain readability
  • Don't rely solely on color to convey meaning (use icons, text, and patterns too)
  • Avoid inconsistent color usage across different pages or screens
  • Don't assume screen colors match print output—always request physical proofs

Explore Aubergine Palette

The Aubergine color palette is a rich and evocative collection of hues that evoke the mystery and luxury of a midnight sky, with its deep, bold tones that seem to pulse with an inner energy. At its core, this palette is about creating a sense of drama and sophistication, drawing the viewer in with its vibrant, monochromatic colors that range from the deep plum of 4D0B43 to the rich, velvety 480C69, a shade that adds a sense of depth and nuance to the overall aesthetic. As the eye moves through the palette, it encounters the bold, crimson-tinged 5C0932, which adds a pop of excitement and energy, while the darker, more muted 61006D provides a sense of grounding and balance, and the 45095A serves as a kind of bridge between the different shades, tying the whole palette together with its deep, rich purple tones.

As we delve deeper into the palette, it becomes clear that each color plays a specific role in creating the overall mood and atmosphere. The 4D0B43, with its slightly blue undertones, serves as a kind of anchor, providing a sense of stability and calm, while the 480C69, with its slightly more purple undertones, adds a sense of luxury and sophistication. The 5C0932, on the other hand, is a true showstopper, with its bold, vibrant tones that seem to leap off the page, and the 61006D provides a sense of contrast and depth, drawing the eye downward and creating a sense of visual interest. Meanwhile, the 45095A serves as a kind of glue, holding the different shades together and creating a sense of cohesion and harmony.

In terms of practical applications, the Aubergine palette is incredibly versatile, and can be used in a wide range of design contexts, from websites and apps to branding and marketing materials. For example, a website that uses the 4D0B43 as its primary background color, with accents of 480C69 and 5C0932, could create a sense of drama and sophistication, while a brand that uses the 61006D as its primary color, with the 45095A as a secondary color, could convey a sense of luxury and refinement. Similarly, a marketing campaign that uses the bold, vibrant tones of the 5C0932 could grab the viewer's attention and create a sense of excitement and energy.

The colors in the Aubergine palette also have a profound impact on the viewer's perception and behavior, with the deep, rich tones evoking feelings of creativity, wisdom, and grandeur. The violet and crimson undertones, meanwhile, add a sense of passion and energy, drawing the viewer in and creating a sense of engagement and participation. As a result, designers who use this palette can create a sense of emotional connection with their audience, and can tap into the viewer's deepest desires and aspirations. By using the Aubergine palette in a thoughtful and intentional way, designers can create a sense of drama and sophistication that draws the viewer in and refuses to let go.

For designers who want to get the most out of the Aubergine palette, there are a few key tips and tricks to keep in mind. For example, pairing the deep, rich tones of the palette with complementary colors like gold or yellow can create a sense of contrast and visual interest, while using the bold, vibrant tones of the 5C0932 as an accent color can add a pop of excitement and energy to an otherwise subdued design. Meanwhile, using the 45095A as a background color, with accents of 480C69 and 61006D, can create a sense of depth and nuance, and can add a sense of sophistication and refinement to an otherwise straightforward design. By experimenting with different combinations and pairings, designers can unlock the full potential of the Aubergine palette, and can create designs that are truly unforgettable.
