Color Picker

Color theory is the science and art of using color. It explains how humans perceive color, how colors mix, match, or contrast, and the messages colors communicate. The color wheel is a fundamental tool, showing relationships between primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Harmonies like complementary, analogous, and triadic help you build palettes that are visually appealing and effective for design.

• Primary colors: Red, Yellow, Blue
• Secondary colors: Green, Orange, Purple
• Color harmonies: Complementary, Analogous, Triadic, Tetradic
• Use color theory to create balance and mood in your designs

Professional designers use a combination of intuition, color theory, and digital tools to select colors. Start with a base color, then use harmonies or palette generators to expand your set. Always check accessibility and contrast. Use tools like color pickers, eyedroppers, and palette generators to experiment and preview your choices in real time.

• Start with your brand or primary color
• Use palette generators for inspiration
• Test your palette in different UI contexts
• Check contrast and accessibility for all users
