This deck walks you through the fundamentals of color theory, starting with the basics of primary colors in different color models like RGB and CMYK, and building up to more complex ideas such as complementary, analogous, and triadic color schemes. You'll also explore how colors interact, the difference between additive and subtractive color mixing, and the history and purpose of the color wheel. Together, these topics form the foundation for understanding how colors work together in art, design, and everyday visual experiences.
It's a great fit for art students, graphic designers, digital creators, photographers, or anyone who wants to make more confident color choices in their work. Beginners will find a clear path through the essentials, while those with some experience can use the deck to refresh and organize what they already know. If you're preparing for a class, a portfolio review, or just want to strengthen your visual eye, the material here will give you a solid grounding.
Because the topics build on one another, it's helpful to study them in order, starting with the color models and primary colors before moving on to color schemes and harmonies. Try to picture or even sketch the color wheel as you go, since visual thinking makes these ideas stick much faster than just memorizing terms. Spacing your review over a few short sessions rather than cramming will also help the relationships between colors feel more natural over time.
