  • Semantic color application: map colors to states (success, error, info) and to categories, improving readability and navigation.
  • Accent, background, and typography usage: apply color to actions, surfaces, headers, and labels for a cohesive, expressive interface.
  • Real-world use: transform a dull dashboard into a warm, scannable design by applying purposeful color to cards, borders, and callouts.
