One of the main considerations when building a dashboard is selecting colors that match the topic, provide clear insights, and are relevant to the context. Color choices can significantly impact the readability and effectiveness of a dashboard. For example, vibrant colors might be suitable for a sales dashboard to highlight key performance indicators, while muted tones might be better for financial reports to maintain a professional and serious tone. It's important to ensure that the colors used not only make the dashboard visually appealing but also enhance the user's ability to quickly grasp the information being presented.
In the following, you'll find some resources that can help inspire you and guide you in choosing proper colors for your dashboard:
Pinterest: Just search for topics relevant to your dashboard or ideas you have in mind, and the visual photos will help inspire your color choices and design.
Adobe Express: An easy-to-use tool for creating stunning graphics, which can also help you explore and apply various color schemes effectively.
Flaticon: A resource for finding icons that can complement your color scheme and enhance the visual appeal and usability of your dashboard.
