Color Theory Basics

Understanding color theory helps create effective color palettes:

  • Hue: The pure color (red, blue, green, etc.)
  • Saturation: The intensity or purity of the color
  • Lightness: How light or dark the color is
  • Warm Colors: Reds, oranges, yellows - energetic and vibrant
  • Cool Colors: Blues, greens, purples - calming and professional

Best Practices

  • Use 60-30-10 rule: 60% dominant, 30% secondary, 10% accent
  • Ensure sufficient contrast for accessibility
  • Test colors in different lighting conditions
  • Consider color psychology and cultural meanings
  • Keep palettes simple - usually 3-5 colors work best
  • Use neutral colors to balance vibrant ones
