Where to start

Good interfaces rest on three systems: a colour scale, a type scale and an elevation scale. Build your palette with the Tailwind palette generator, set fluid headings with the clamp() calculator, then define two or three shadow levels with the box shadow generator.

Before you ship, run every text and background pair through the contrast checker. Accessible contrast is the cheapest usability win there is.
