Colors & branding

I like colors. I don't understand color-theory.

Everyone has favorite colors, I do too! So this post has swatches of the colors I like the most, and want to use more consistently with my projects.

Branding

I kind of try to “color-code” some of my projects, to make it at a glance easy to identify what is supposed to be a production service and what is a staging or development service.

This is not a fixed rule, but just something I am experimenting with.

A blue box, kind of just used for production services.

A red box, just used for my development / staging services.
