My old color palette finally clicked after 3 years of tweaking it

I've been using the same pastel blue and gray combo for my app mockups since 2021 and it always felt kinda flat. Last week I randomly bumped the saturation up by like 15% and swapped the gray for a warm taupe. Now it actually pops on screen and clients stop asking me to redo it. Took me 3 years to realize I was just scared of warmer tones. Has anyone else had a color fix that simple change everything?

Did you try tweaking the brightness yet?

Hmm, idk about that @diana55, I actually found it made things look washed out on my end once I got past a certain point. Maybe it's just my setup but I had to dial it back.
