Assuming you have a custom branding, you should use these colors in your website. Your branding colors are unique to you and you want visitors to feel your presence when they enter into your website. Be sure to insert your colors throughout your ENTIRE website.
If you don’t have a branding, you can go into the squarespace and pick out a color palette. They will offer you pre-made ones or you can customize it. If you are looking for some color palette inspiration, check out my Pinterest. You can also check out the video below to illustrate this for you.
