Why do some colours go well together and some colours not?
In: Other
I’d argue that all colours go well together if it’s with a good intention. It’s just that in some scenarios
* you want to use more conservative colours since you want to focus on content,
* you want to use contrasting / complementary colours for readability / visibility,
* you want to employ a theme (sea / nature / autumn / digital) that limits the choices.
Basically, you have some colour combination generators for logos / websites. You can slap them anywhere since you have a wide range of light and dark colours for highlights / text, you have a main / complementary colours that are colorblind-friendly and have contrast.
However, you can make quite beautiful stuff when you get away from this “comfort zone” and start experimenting with non-standard combinations.
