The Worst Color Combinations of All Time?

When designing, color combinations can be the difference between a great design and an absolutely horrendous design. Colors are what make designs pop. They drive people to look at your design. Often times, they’re what make your design memorable.

So what color combinations should you avoid, you ask? In this week’s episode of the Digital Wrap-Up, our Creative Director, Kaylee, breaks down her top choices for the color combinations you MUST avoid when designing. From yellow on red to pastels and pink, Kaylee has some strong feelings about some of the color combinations out there.
