What are your go to colors?

[VickiLanger]

Do you have default colors you use? What are they?

If I didn't ask toooooo many questions yet, why those colors?

Here are mine:

Makes a nice small background and feels confortable
Contrasts nicely with the blue and adds a little excitement
Main background color so it's not aggressively white
A nice text color that pops off the background, but is very accessible
Who doesn't need gray?
I always seem to have a reason for 17 shades of gray 🤷‍♀️
For the inevitable need for this combative color, used sparingly, like never
Freshness to offset the otherwise drab boringness (but never next to the orange-y color)

I'm a fan of this palette, aptly named the 'British Palette'. I have it bookmarked as a quick go-to for some basic colours for mockups etc. 😄

I stick to material colors for the shades: Color Tool - Material Design

If I need to use CI/CD colors I go to Color wheel, a color palette generator | Adobe Color to create a custom color scheme.

Red always gets a higher CTR and I don't know why. So I love any damn red!
