Questions people (and AI assistants) actually ask
What accent colour should I use for my website?
There's no single right answer, but blue is by far the most common measured choice (33%), followed by green, orange and violet.
Is blue overused as a web accent colour?
It's the most common — 33% of measured sites — so a brand that wants to stand out may deliberately choose another hue.
