Notion Color System Reimagined
I created a color system for Notion. The design task involved selecting colors that would not only differentiate the tool from its competitors but also ensure accessibility and evoke the right emotions among users.
Each color in the system is carefully selected based on its psychological impact and functional role. The primary colors build the brand’s core identity, while secondary and tertiary colors offer flexibility and dynamism within the interface.
By choosing the colors I tried to make sure that users will have:
- Ability to focus on content they work on instead of paying attention to the interface elements;
- A calm mood, which is important for focusing on tasks, especially for nervous managerial work;
- Comfortable contrast when working with text and large amount of data.

You did a great job with the color system. The selected colors reflect the brand well, complement each other beautifully, and the presentation of your work is on point. Well done!
You have done a very detailed project.
Hello Nikita, your project looks very thoughtful and well-executed. I really like how you approached the Notion color system not just from a visual angle, but also with attention to psychology, accessibility, and user emotions. The way you outlined the goals — focus, calmness, and comfortable contrast — shows a deep understanding of user needs. Great job creating a system that feels both functional and inspiring!
worthy project
Great work there Nikita!
Very straightforward and presented in an easy-to-understand manner. Colors were simple but thoughtful. Great work on the presentation!
The presentation was straight to the point. The colour choices kept inline with the brand simplicity.
Nice work! The colour palette is not only well-balanced but also thoughtfully chosen, and your explanation behind the selection adds depth to the design.
Awesome job, the presentation is straight to the point and everything is easily understandable. The design & the color choice are amazing
The color system you've created is really impressive! I love how it brings a fresh and vibrant touch to design. But knowing your talent, I'm sure there are even more amazing projects up your sleeve. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Keep up the fantastic work!
