Neumorphism, also called soft UI, is a design style where buttons, cards, and toggles look pressed out of the background instead of placed on top of it. It uses one background color and two soft shadows, a light highlight and a darker shadow, to make elements look gently...
Visual design principles are the rules that decide how a UI looks and how easily people can use it. The Nielsen Norman Group calls them the foundational rules that organize elements on a screen, guide the eye, and make information easy to understand. Count them and you’ll...
Skeuomorphism is a design style where digital elements imitate the look, texture, and feel of real-world objects, so a note-taking app looks like a paper notepad and a save button looks like a floppy disk. Those familiar cues help people understand a new interface fast, because...
Glassmorphism is a UI design style that makes on-screen panels look like frosted glass, using transparency, a background blur, and a thin light border so colorful backgrounds glow through. The effect adds depth and hierarchy, letting cards float above the background like panes...
Warm colors and cool colors split the color wheel into two temperatures: warm hues like red, orange, and yellow feel energetic and push toward you, while cool hues like blue, green, and purple feel calm and pull back. That temperature does two jobs in a UI at once, setting the...
Monochromatic colors are one base hue stretched across its tints, shades, and tones, and in an interface they decide whether a screen feels calm or just flat. Most single-color UIs fail the same way: every element lands at nearly the same lightness, so buttons, cards, and text...
Analogous colors are three to five hues that sit side by side on the color wheel, like blue, blue-green, and green, and they give a UI variety without the clash. Most multi-color interfaces look noisy because the hues get picked at random, so nothing ties them together....
Orange carries the hex code #FFA500, which resolves to rgb(255, 165, 0) and hsl(39, 100%, 50%), sitting between red and yellow on the spectrum. It’s a secondary color built from the two warmest primaries, and it occupies the wavelength band from roughly 585 to 620...
Light gray carries the hex code #D3D3D3, which resolves to rgb(211, 211, 211) and hsl(0, 0%, 83%), with all three channels set to the same value. Equal channels are what make it achromatic: no hue, no saturation, just a lightness reading near the top of the scale. That high...
Black carries the hex code #000000, which resolves to rgb(0, 0, 0) and hsl(0, 0%, 0%), with every channel switched off. It’s an achromatic color, meaning it holds no hue and no saturation at all, which is why the standard color-wheel rules stop applying the moment you try...
