Hey guys! I've been learning about UX design recently, and I'm really interested in the role of color in usability. I’ve noticed that some websites use colors in ways that feel off or just don't make sense for the user experience. What are some common color mistakes that can negatively affect usability? I'm sure there are things I should avoid as a beginner.

That's a great question! One common mistake I often see is poor contrast between text and background. This makes it hard for users to read the content, especially those with visual impairments. Another issue is using too many colors, which can create visual clutter and confuse users. It’s also important not to rely solely on color to convey information – not everyone can perceive certain colors, especially those who are colorblind.
