Here's how we use the 60-30-10 rule to anchor a white and blue-themed web design (for Stour). Keep your base colour at 60 percent, a secondary colour at 30 percent, then add 10 percent of an accent for contrast.
This can give your site a clean, focused look.
- 60%: White (in this example)
- 30%: Brand colour
- 10%: Accent colour for highlights or calls to action
The calls to action will stand out with this approach.
Have you tried this approach in your design?
