How to use these references for a colorful education website

Assign colours a job — sections, categories, states — rather than decorating at random, and keep text on colour at accessible contrast. For an education brand, look at how outcomes, curriculum and instructors are presented before enrolment. Start with Frontend Masters, Speak and Busuu, open each site at full size and compare their features and hero sections; every reference carries its palette, fonts and a build prompt you can paste into your editor.
