Using Colors in your Designs

By joining Design Academy, you can gain access to a variety of resources that can enhance your abilities as a designer. Also connect with like-minded creators and engage in design discussions!

Whenever you use colors in your designs or your Discord role colors, you should always watch out for those with accessibility issues like visual issues. If you watch out for them, then they will have a much better time reading the content that you have.


Understanding Color Accessibility

Color accessibility is when someone has either a low vision, colorblind, or they have a disability. If you happen to come across a user with any of these, please take the time to make sure they will be able to understand what your content is. Using contrast will help users better understand the content they are reading.

When picking out a color for your design, don't go all the way up to the top right corner of the color palette because that looks bad and it makes the variant look bad. Start with the middle or top, and work your way through it.

Resources for Color Accessibility

Role Color Preview for Discord

This website helps you preview role colors before you put it on your server to make sure that both, light mode and dark mode users will be able to see what the role is. This is always useful to ensure that light mode and dark mode users can see the text in your roles.
