What are secondary and accent colors?
In UI design:
Secondary colors support the primary color. They're often used for backgrounds, borders, icons, and less important buttons. Their role is to provide visual structure without competing for attention.
Accent colors are used sparingly to draw attention—like for highlights, notifications, tags, or interactive elements.
Use them to:
Differentiate sections or states (e.g., warning, success, error).
Maintain visual hierarchy and guide the user.
Avoid clutter—too many colors can confuse rather than clarify.
