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
