Popular Colors in UI Design

I did a little research on my own, a while back.

Are you ever curious which colors are used most often, and which the least? And would that be a personal preference or would there be something more too it?

You can read the detailed outcome here on my blog: https://www.deesignre.com/popular-and-most-used-colors-in-ui-design/

But in short:

I noticed that most designs contain a warm-cold color combination. Contrast is always something that we used to make products look better, so besides contrast in font-side, contrast in darkness and lightness, contrast in color combinations is no different.

Green and purple are neither really warm or cold (depending on the exact shade of course), for this reason many people seem to avoid it.

The posters below present the outcome in a visual way.

Notice how there are some purple tones in there, but only if they tend towards the cold spectrum of the circle. The same goes for the green shades.
