# Apply Color

> Apply a project's existing color palette expressively across a website, instead of leaving it on buttons and links while everything else stays gray. Use when a design has a real palette but the pages feel flat, monochrome-by-accident, or under-colored; when styling a hero, a bento grid, a product shot, a set of categories, or a full section; or when someone says the brand colors "aren't being used." Five named techniques (gradient headings, color on a grid, color as a product background, color per category, one tint across a layout), each with its accessibility floor. Works strictly inside the project's OWN palette, never a house style, and never adds new colors.
