Color Theory, Color Wheel and Combining Colors, Colors on the Web tools | color palette creator v1.6.1 This tool was inspired directly by the excellent Creating Color Palettes article by Andy Clarke. It will create 10 shades of the base color, located top-left, at varying degrees of opacity. The top row emulates opacity over a white background, the bottom over black (or colors of your choosing as of v1.4). The opacity values are 100% opaque, 75%, 50%, 25% and 10% on the top row. The bottom row begins at 85% rather than 100% and continues on as the first. How to use it: Type a valid six character hexidecimal value in the text box above and hit the "ok" button. Hit the "output hex" button to have the table below the palette display hexidecimal color values. Click the "save base" button to write the current base color to a cookie for safe keeping. As of version 1.6, you can export all of your saved palettes to a PNG image by clicking the "create PNG" button in the "saved" window.
Color wheel Boutet's 7-color and 12-color color circles from 1708 Wilhelm von Bezold's 1874 Farbentafel A color wheel or color circle is an abstract illustrative organization of color hues around a circle that shows relationships between primary colors, secondary colors, complementary colors, etc. Some sources use the terms color wheel and color circle interchangeably;[1][2] however, one term or the other may be more prevalent in certain fields or certain versions as mentioned above. For instance, some reserve the term color wheel for mechanical rotating devices, such as color tops or filter wheels. As an illustrative model, artists typically use red, yellow, and blue primaries (RYB color model) arranged at three equally spaced points around their color wheel.[4] Printers and others who use modern subtractive color methods and terminology use magenta, yellow, and cyan as subtractive primaries.

Combining Colors - Analog, Complementary, Triad - Colors on the Web Color combination is really the most important part of color theory and designing with colors, and also the hardest-- It always comes down to your personal judgement and how you look at colors. There are, however, some guidelines that can be used to make a color combination that is interesting and pleasing to the eye. How many colors? It is hard to give an exact answer to this question, but in general one can say that the risk of using too many colors is greater than the risk of using too few. Too many colors will make the page feel too busy and it usually makes it harder for the viewer to find the information he or she wants. A page with too few colors, on the other hand, risks being seen as a bit boring, but this need not always be the case. One commonly used rule in these matters is to use three colors. Primary color: This is the main color of the page. Color Wheel By now you should recognize the color wheel. Triad Colors Triad colors are three hues equidistant on the color wheel.
