#consistency

I’ve been working on a new mobile app and decided to keep the same color palette for every screen to maintain brand consistency. I’m wondering if that’s a common practice or if people usually switch palettes for different sections. Some designers say it keeps the UI cohesive, while others argue it can feel monotonous. What’s the general consensus? Do you see this approach in most apps or do you prefer distinct palettes for different flows? I’d love to hear your thoughts and any examples you’ve seen.

something thats been bugging me lately... why do people go all out on one room and then the rest of the house Looks like a completely different person lives there?? is it really that hard to pick a theme and stick with it?? i mean i get it, tastes change, people evolve... but come on, a little consistency would be nice. whats the point of having a perfectly designed living room if the bedroom looks like a thrift store exploded in it?? do people even notice this stuff or am i just weird for caring??

I’m building a small mobile app by myself and I’m debating whether to set up a full design system from the get-go. I know it can help with consistency and speed up future work, but it also feels like a lot of overhead for a one‑person project. Some of you have probably done this—what’s your take? Do you think it’s overkill, or does it actually save time in the long run? I’d love to hear real experiences, not just textbook advice.
