Color Theory

Color Theory is a conceptual framework used in visual arts and design, defining how colors mix, match, and contrast to achieve visual harmony. Coursera's Color Theory catalogue teaches you the fundamental principles of using color to create aesthetically pleasing designs. You'll learn about the color wheel, primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, color harmonies, and the psychological effects of color. You'll also explore the use of color in different contexts, such as digital design, painting, photography, fashion, and interior design. This knowledge will enable you to make informed color decisions in your design projects, enhancing your creativity and improving the impact of your design work.
