Primary colours - Dominantly used by UI / UX Design. We must use the brands colour as the primary colour .
Secondary Colours- The optional set of colours to make the design more interesting if they are really needed. Its basically for the design to pop.
Accent Colours - Are used to emphasise or highlight some information such as texts , sliders , links and progress bar. Once you pick the primary colour , you may pick the harmony colours like monochromatic , complimentary etc to make accent colours .
Semantic Colours - They are used for warning , error , success and information . You should use Yellow for warning , Red for error , Green for Success and Blue for information. They are suggested by colour psychology.
Neutral Colours - These colours are mostly used for backgrounds . they let all other colours to pop up from the design.
Chart and Data Visualisation Colours - Just like secondary colours having these colours are optional depending on the type of project . Chart , heat maps or tree maps are primarily coloured . One must create a set of 10 to 20 colours using the following guidelines .
You can make a Categorical Colour Scheme by suing multiple colour that contrast to each other in a certain order , its good for line charts , bar charts etc . Since these are contrasting , use them when you want to use the data distinctively .
One Scheme is Sequential Order , Its a gradual transformation of colours form light to dark and vice versa , its suitable for tree map or heat map .
Last Type of Colour Scheme is Diverging where negative and positive values are there to present . We must not use it for categorical scales.
