Colors

Color is one of the most important aspect in any visual design. Colors affect aesthetic, emotion, composition and many other things. Use of right colors can make a design stand out from the crowd. But, picking the outstanding colors is not often easy. It requires years of experience to choose the right color in a design. However, as the era of AI has just begun, it is possible to get the colors using AI tools.

Pitfalls

The AI is perfect is most cases. It only output colors based on the data it was trained on. So occasionally it makes horrible palettes(you’ll see). But you can always hit the generate button. Also, selecting colors vary from projects to projects. You still need to be able to recognize well paired colors to select a palette generated by the AI.
