What I learned

I have Learend about putting colors in root and using them by its variable name.

:root {
  --Pale-Violet: hsl(276, 100%, 81%);
  --Moderate-Violet: hsl(276, 55%, 52%);
  --Desaturated-Dark-Violet: hsl(271, 15%, 43%);
  --Grayish-Blue: hsl(206, 6%, 79%);
  --Very-Dark-Desaturated-Violet: hsl(271, 36%, 24%);
  --Dark-Grayish-Violet: hsl(270, 7%, 64%);
  --White: hsl(0, 0%, 100%);
  --Light-Grayish-Violet: hsl(270, 20%, 96%);
  --Very-Light-Magenta: hsl(289, 100%, 72%);
  --light-gray: hsl(272, 41%, 93%);
}

Here I have used clip-path properties to make arrows;

.back-arrow {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 15px;
  height: 15px;
  background-color: var(--White);
  clip-path: polygon(41% 0, 14% 50%, 42% 100%, 25% 100%, 0% 50%, 28% 0);
  cursor: pointer;
}

.chat-page .type-box .send-arrow {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 15px;
  height: 15px;
  background-color: var(--White);
  clip-path: polygon(57% 0, 100% 50%, 62% 100%, 41% 100%, 81% 49%, 38% 0);
  cursor: pointer;
}

Continued development
