A client's simple comment made me rethink my whole approach to accent colors

I was working on a website for a local bakery and kept adding bright teal accents everywhere for 'pop'. The owner finally said, 'It feels like a tech store, not a place that sells warm cinnamon rolls.' That hit me hard. I swapped the teal for a burnt orange and a soft cream, pulling them straight from photos of their actual pastries. The whole mood changed instantly. Now I always start my accent palette from something physical the client makes or sells. Has anyone else had a client point out a color that just felt totally wrong for their vibe?

That "pulling them straight from photos of their actual pastries" is such a good idea. Do you ever find that the physical colors need adjusting to look right on screen?

Ever try to match a paint chip to a photo? Never looks right.
