๐ŸŽจ Color Theory Guide โ€“ Harmony, Psychology, and Design Principles

A complete guide to understanding colors, their relationships, and how to use them effectively in design.

What is Color Theory?

Color theory explains how colors interact, combine, and contrast. It is essential for creating visually appealing and effective designs, as it helps designers choose harmonious color combinations and understand the impact of color choices.

The Color Wheel

The color wheel consists of primary (red, blue, yellow), secondary (green, orange, purple), and tertiary colors. Common color schemes include complementary (opposite colors), analogous (adjacent colors), triadic (three evenly spaced colors), and split-complementary (a base color and two adjacent to its complement).

Color Psychology

Colors evoke emotions: blue suggests trust, red signals passion, and green represents growth. Understanding color psychology helps in crafting messages and branding that resonate with audiences.

Practical Applications

Color theory is used in web design, branding, and digital art to create balance, focus, and emotional impact. Strategic color choices improve user experience and brand recognition.

Conclusion

Intentional color choices, guided by color theory, are crucial for effective and attractive design.

๐ŸŽจ CSS Color Names โ€“ Complete Reference

A full reference of all CSS named colors with HEX and RGB values for designers and developers.

What are CSS Color Names?

CSS color names are predefined color keywords supported by all major browsers, allowing designers to use descriptive names instead of HEX or RGB codes.

Common Examples

Popular CSS color names include white, black, red, blue, green, and gray. These names are easy to remember and use in stylesheets.

Full List Access

Designers and developers can use named colors directly in CSS, making code more readable. For example: color: tomato; or background: skyblue;.

Practical Tips

Use named colors for quick prototyping or when color precision is less critical. For exact branding, prefer HEX or RGB values.

Conclusion

CSS color names offer a quick and simple way to style web elements with colors.

โ™ฟ Accessibility Tools โ€“ Make Colors Inclusive

Tools and techniques to ensure your color choices are usable for everyone, including people with visual impairments.

Why Accessibility Matters

Following WCAG guidelines ensures your designs are inclusive and accessible to all users, improving both usability and SEO.

Contrast Checker

Check text and background color contrast to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.

Color Blindness Simulation

Test your designs for different types of color vision deficiency to make sure everyone can perceive your content.

Best Practices

Use sufficient font sizes, high contrast ratios, and avoid relying solely on color to convey information.

Conclusion

Accessible design improves user experience and search engine optimization for your website.

๐Ÿ”„ Color Conversion Tools โ€“ HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, CMYK
