How can color be used effectively in design?

Effective use of color in design involves understanding the impact of hues, tones, and combinations. First, it is necessary to define the specific goals you want to achieve with color. Then select a main color that reflects the needs of the project. Next, choose a color scheme based on the central hue. Finally, refine the color choices in terms of the specific application and the target audience. Utilizing various color schemes, such as complementary, analogous, or monochromatic, can lead to a design that is both visually appealing and emotionally resonant.
