Using the same palette, pick another color that goes with the primary color and can be used for icons and other elements.
3. User Interfaces
Six demos of user interfaces will be shown, each displaying different general interfaces that might appear in an android app. This shows how the primary and secondary colors will look together in an app. These same choices are applicable to websites as well.
