Make the colors work
More than a set of swatches.
Keep the invitation clear
Happy Apricot makes orange the action and teal the supporting accent. Blue Confetti uses a cooler frame. Pick the hierarchy that makes the next step easiest to find in your actual content.
Use restrained bright areas
Cheerful illustrations can contain several saturated colors while reading surfaces stay pale. Avoid giving every card its own competing call to action.
Compare with real copy
Try a longer heading, an error message and a price together. A cheerful direction should still work when the page needs to communicate something serious or precise.
