Colour Theory

​Due: April 27th by Midnight

Please comment your name, an emoji or just saying 'Hey' so I know you have seen the page and are aware of expectations.

Color theory has a lot of definitions, concepts and design applications. However, there are three basic categories of colour theory that are logical and useful : The colour wheel, colour harmony, and the context of how colours are used.
Colour theories create a logical structure for colour.

For example, if we have an assortment of fruits and vegetables, we can organize them by colour and place them on a circle that shows the colours in relation to each other.

Ultimately, colour theory is a body of practical guidance to colour mixing and the visual effects of a specific colour combination (visually, emotionally, mentally, etc).

Check out the Powerpoint below to get a better sense of colour and how specific combinations will influence certain emotions and reactions.
