Developer Color Guides

Your portfolio is a product pitch where you are the product. Here are 3 palette directions built for developer portfolios — with hex codes, CSS variables, and the persona signal each one sends.

shadcn/ui already uses semantic CSS variables. Here's how to map the 60-30-10 split directly to --background, --secondary, and --primary so every component inherits your palette automatically.

On a landing page, the 10% accent color has one job: make the CTA impossible to miss. Here's how to apply 60-30-10 for conversion hierarchy, avoid accent bleed, and pick a CTA color that passes contrast.

You have three CSS variables. Now you need 40 components to use them consistently. Here's the three-layer token architecture — primitives, semantic tokens, component tokens — that scales without breaking.

Builder.io, Locofy, or Anima — which actually ships clean code? We compare the top AI design-to-code tools, test color token handling, and show the real workflow.

A SaaS dashboard needs more than three colors. Here's how to extend the 60-30-10 base palette with status indicators, accessible chart colors, and dark sidebar contrast — with CSS variables and Tailwind config.
