Color theory for designers | How to use color in design

Learn color theory basics, what color theory is, and the importance of color properties like hue, saturation, and luminance. I also go over how to use the color wheel for graphic design and web design. Knowing how to use color and how to create contrast with color is vital to a good user experience whether you're designing a poster or a website. I also touch on color psychology and how to use it to influence the mood of your design. Understanding the basics of color theory will help you master color combinations in your design projects.
