Color Theory is important for every type of designer. It is important to understand color. Using the right color can make or break a design. Today’s post is from Smashing Magazine and is about color theory. If you have any questions or needing more information about color theory this article is worth the time to read.

Color Theory for Designers, Part 1: The Meaning of Color – Smashing Magazine
Color in design is very subjective. What evokes one reaction in one person may evoke a very different reaction in somone else. Sometimes this is due to personal preference, and other times due to cultural background. Color theory is a science in itself. Studying how colors affect different people, either individually or as a group, is something some people build their careers on. And there’s a lot to it. Something as simple as changing the exact hue or saturation of a color can evoke a completely different feeling. Cultural differences mean that something that’s happy and uplifting in one country can be depressing in another.
