Colour isn’t just pretty, it’s psychology dressed up in a palette.
In this module, we’ll dive into how different shades shape the way people feel about your brand - from premium and polished, to playful, calming, or bold. I’ll show you how to build an intentional palette (think primaries, accents, neutrals, and all the in-betweens) so everything feels cohesive without being boring. We’ll also look at how brands are getting more creative with colour these days and explore my go-to tools for building and testing palettes, so you can confidently use yours across socials, your website, and even print.

2. What 3 words describe the vibe I want to give my audience?
3. What emotions do I want my audience to feel when they see my content?
