harm /härm/ noun : physical injury, especially that which is deliberately inflicted.

Nobody is inflicting any harm by choosing a bad color palette.

The word "harm" means many things. Just google "consumer harm", for example, and the top result is a government agency using the word harm to describe non-physical injury:

You're being a bit disingenuous here. Other definitions of harm include: "have an adverse effect on" and "actual or potential ill effects".

You’re conveniently skipping over the secondary definitions, which includes “actual or potential ill effect or danger”.
