Using the same color throughout a work demonstrates which design goal?

• A. Unity
• B. Contrast
• C. Emphasis
• D. Variety

Answer: (A)

Unity is the idea here: using the same color throughout creates a sense of cohesion across the entire work. When a single color is used consistently, all the elements share a common visual language, so the design reads as one integrated piece rather than a collection of separate parts. This sameness helps the eye travel smoothly from one area to another and makes the overall composition feel balanced and harmonious. If you were to introduce contrast, emphasis, or variety you’d be intentionally drawing attention to differences, focal points, or diverse elements, which would shift the design away from the cohesive feel that a uniform color palette provides.
