Why palettes instead of single colors?

A single color can be beautiful, but most design problems are relational: how a background sits next to a button, how text reads on top of a surface, or how accents guide attention. Palettes help you see those relationships immediately.

By using palettes generated from a shared hue, you get combinations that feel connected but still give enough variation to create hierarchy and rhythm in your layouts.
