Working with Colors

Basic Guide Lines

  • Color harmony:
    Colors that go well together
  • Color complements:
    Colors that set each other off, they complement each other
  • Color depth: Colors can-
    "Recede or Fall Back" such as blue, black, dark green, and brown.
    "Jump Forward" such as white, yellow, red, and orange

Hints

  • Designing the back ground
    When choosing a color for your back ground do not use a color that “Jumps forward”. When using "Jump Forward" colors, the background color will always seem to move forward and can overtake any text or images that you place on it.
