Designing a brand with just two colors
By Matúš4 min read
Constraint is a creative tool. When the palette shrinks, every other decision — typography, spacing, hierarchy — has to do more work, and that is where the personality shows up.
I picked a deep teal (#00555a) for trust and quiet, and a warm mimosa yellow (#ffc94b) for energy. Together they cover everything from navigation chrome to call-to-action moments.
The trick is rationing the accent. Mimosa appears on roughly 10% of the surface — links, the subscribe button, the small dot in the logo. Any more and it stops feeling special.
