I would never allow a design get that far into the process and then allow a client to start testing various colors. That is just asking for trouble.

- iamben 11y agoBut we've all been in a situation where it's got 'that far' and someone more senior has got involved and done exactly that. Plus, it makes designing in the browser waaaay easier.
- Silhouette 11y agoHave you never implemented a design yourself, and then found that when you looked at the results as a whole, it didn't work quite as well as you hoped from the original concept work? Have you never A/B tested a site and found that varying colours made a difference? Have you never developed a site with some colour scheme and later found you needed to extend the colour scheme, perhaps to incorporate a new product or service being added to the available range? Having a colour scheme that is set in stone early on sounds like one of those idealised things that sometimes just doesn't work in the face of reality.
- anotheryou 11y agoI agree! I'm currently building something that has mild themes for fonts, colors and some margins (and is build on top of a SCSS framework, but that wasn't my choice), without color variables it would be a pain...
