## How each company describes itself

### A Color Bright

A Color Bright says it is “a design studio in Berlin. We do brand and product.” Its site describes small, senior teams, fast iterations, and no layers between clients and the people doing the work. Capabilities cover product discovery, UX and UI, design systems, frontend and backend development, brand strategy, naming, and websites.

The home page says the studio has worked with ambitious companies for over a decade. Selected clients include Ableton, SoundCloud, Spotify, and Zalando. LinkedIn lists 11–50 employees in Germany.

### Humbleteam

We measure ourselves in days. ING’s small-business banking prototype was designed and user-tested in 23 days, and a B2B banking MVP for ING Amsterdam went from zero to a tested product in 5 days. New work can start next week.

The vertical depth is what we add: 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, 30+ healthtech platforms studied, and a 27-app sports benchmark rerun every 4 weeks. Since 2017, 49 people in Prague and Dubai have shipped 200+ projects and won 80+ design awards.

## Three reasons teams pick us over A Color Bright

Each one is a number you can ask us to prove.

### Dated speed, on the record

We publish our timelines: 5 days to a tested B2B banking MVP with ING Amsterdam, 23 days to a user-tested ING small-business prototype, and 4 weeks to put Logitech’s app, website, and design system in production. Our average from signed brief to clickable prototype is 2 weeks.

### Fintech and healthtech go deep

Our fintech count stands at 56, plus 30+ major banks, and 5 YC-backed fintechs keep our designers embedded in their teams. For healthtech UX research we studied 30+ platforms. That depth means regulated screens such as KYC, consent, and device errors are designed from the first week.

### Proof from outside the studio

Clients rate us 4.9 on Clutch across 35 reviews, and the words they repeat are speed, flexibility, and structure. We hold 80+ design awards, including 14 Awwwards wins plus Red Dot and Webby. Since 2017 we have shipped 200+ projects, and 70% of clients come back for a second one.

## When A Color Bright is the better call

Two cases where a Berlin studio with its own developers fits better.

### You want the studio in Berlin

A Color Bright works from Kottbusser Damm in Berlin. For a Berlin company that wants workshops in person and a partner in the local scene, a studio across town is a practical choice.

### Design and code from one studio

Their capabilities list frontend and backend development next to brand and product design. If you want the same studio to write production code after the design phase, their offer covers it in one contract.

## What we put on the table

- **23 days** to a user-tested prototype (ING small-business banking)
- **56** fintechs shipped (and 30+ major banks)
- **4.9** Clutch rating (across 35 client reviews)

## Questions and answers

### Is Humbleteam a good alternative to A Color Bright?

Yes. Both studios pair brand with product, and we add published delivery times and vertical depth: 56 fintechs, 30+ major banks, and 30+ healthtech platforms studied. A Color Bright is a Berlin studio that has worked with clients such as Spotify and Zalando for over a decade. If you need the same team to build the code, their offer includes development.

### Humbleteam or A Color Bright: who delivers faster?

We publish dated timelines, and A Color Bright’s site promises fast iterations without stating durations. Ours: a tested banking MVP for ING Amsterdam in 5 days, an ING small-business prototype user-tested by day 23, and Logitech live in 4 weeks. Most of our briefs reach a clickable prototype about 2 weeks after signature.

### Which studio fits a fintech or healthtech startup?

We do, because regulated products make up a large share of our work. A Color Bright calls itself industry-agnostic, while our record holds 56 fintechs, 30+ major banks, and 30+ healthtech platforms studied for research. Ask each studio to show a KYC or consent flow they designed and then tested with users.

### How big is each team, and who does the work?

LinkedIn lists A Color Bright at 11–50 employees, and their site describes small, senior teams with no layers in between. Humbleteam runs 49 people across Prague and Dubai, and the senior designers on the first call, at 9 years of experience on average, do the design. Both models put you close to the designers; ask who exactly.

### How much does each cost, and how soon can we start?

Neither studio publishes prices. We quote a fixed-price audit, a scoped implementation, or a monthly retainer on the first call, and we reply to a new enquiry within 24 hours. A project can start next week. A Color Bright offers a 30-minute call with a co-founder and publishes no start times.
