04. Colors
The colors are derived from fresh food colors that occur naturally. The coral and blueberry contrast well with each other and balance the overall harmony. The supporting secondary orange and blue are mostly used as highlights and the beige background soften the edginess of the otherwise saturated primary colors.
Since the kichin app has 2 audience profiles –the creator and the consumer– it made sense to use colors to differentiate the two interfaces.
