Color Theory Basics

Color theory is the study of how colors interact and how they can be used effectively in art and design. Here are some key concepts:

• Primary Colors Red, blue, and yellow are the basic building blocks of all other colors.
• Secondary Colors Created by mixing two primary colors: green, orange, and purple.
• Tertiary Colors Formed by mixing a primary and an adjacent secondary color.
• Complementary Colors Colors opposite each other on the color wheel, creating high contrast.
• Analogous Colors Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, creating harmony.
