Color Theory

Color is one of the most powerful tools in a designer's toolkit.

The Color Wheel

• Primary colors: Red, Yellow, Blue
• Secondary colors: Orange, Green, Purple
• Tertiary colors: Mix of primary and secondary

Color Harmonies

• Complementary: Colors opposite each other
• Analogous: Colors next to each other
• Triadic: Three colors equally spaced

Practical Tips

Start with a 60-30-10 rule: 60% dominant color, 30% secondary, 10% accent.
