Colour theory

Colour is one of the most important aspects of Design theory allowing us to create mood, inform judgement, or even just get noticed.







                                      
Complimentary Colour

Complimentary colours are easy to understand, picking the hues directly opposite creates a good contrast. Each colour either has a warm or cool opposite.

Triad colour combinations

These are just an advancement on the complimentary colours use colours in thirds. The red, blue, yellow are primary colours and work effectively in children's design work.

Split complimentary

These are different than triads, although they, too, have three colors. For a split complementary, you take the two colours from each side of the colour wheel from the direct complimentary.

 Double Complimentary 

Double Complimentary colour can be an effective way to use colour although it can over complicate Design.
