Using Too Much Color High risk exists in using too many colors rather than using too few. Too many colors will make the page feel too busy, making it harder for the viewer to find the information. Too much color makes it more tiring to the eyes. A page displaying too few colors edges on the boring border.

To Sum Things Up Simple layout Centered orientation 3D effects, used sparingly Soft, neutral background colors Strong color, used sparingly Cute icons, used sparingly Plenty of whitespace Nice big text
