Colors

When it comes to creating a color palette for a project, it's best to keep it simple and use as few colors as possible. Avoid creating extra shades just for the sake of making the color palette look more diverse.

Speaking of colors, our biggest challenge was customizing the map used in the app so that it wouldn't blend in with other interface elements, while still matching the established color scheme that corresponds with the product branding.
