Common Color Mistakes
- Matching box to product exactly — Contrast is more interesting
- Too many colors — One main color, one accent
- Bright colors for luxury — Premium = muted, sophisticated
- Ignoring material — Color + finish together = the look
- Following trends blindly — Choose what fits your brand
