웹 디자인에서 자주 하는 컬러 피커 실수
일관성 저하와 유지보수 문제를 부르는 대표적인 컬러 선택 실수를 정리했습니다.
컬러 피커는 단순하지만, 작은 실수가 디자인과 구현 단계에서 큰 재작업으로 이어질 수 있습니다.
Mistake: picking by eye only
Visual guesses drift over time, especially across displays.
Always copy numeric values and compare them directly.
Mistake: ignoring format consistency
Mixed HEX/RGB/HSL usage without a rule creates confusion.
Set a preferred format for commits and documentation.
Mistake: skipping context checks
A color can look fine in a swatch but fail in real UI states.
Test contrast, hover states, and adjacent surfaces before shipping.
- Test text readability.
- Check light and dark backgrounds.
- Review disabled and active states.
Mistake: hardcoding values everywhere
Repeated literals are difficult to update later.
Use tokens or variables so changes remain centralized.
Common issues appear in
- Rapid landing page edits.
- Theme updates.
- Design-to-code handoff.
Small checks prevent big cleanup
A few validation steps keep your color system cleaner and easier to maintain.
