Kendall: Color Theory

Tiger Color!
http://www.tigercolor.com/color-lab/color-theory/color-theory-intro.htm

The website is an introduction to color theory. This is a helpful website because it talks about how all different colors, when put together, or when apart, create mood. The Color Wheel, the difference between warm and cool colors, it's all here! This sight it useful because it helps you get to know your color wheel. It also has a few basic techniques for creating color schemes. If you are not sure about a color and what the effect of it is, just check this site out!

Smashing Magazine!
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/01/28/color-theory-for-designers-part-1-the-meaning-of-color/

This site talks about how people will portray the work by what colors are used. I find it helpful because not everyone will see the same thing in one piece of work. Even though this is a website for designers, it is helpful because it also talks about how colors are used and the meaning behind the color families. It's very easy to read and understand. It also talks about what kind of emotions different colors are associated with. Check it out!

Simple, Practical Color Theory!

This site talks about the different color models. For one I have to admit, I didn't know there were more than one color models. (Maybe I wasn't paying attention?) Anyways, this site is as well helpful. The color models, what the color models are divided into, and what that color model is used for whether its, photography/film/design, print design, or art/painting/design. This site talks about it all! It's very simple, easy to understand and read. Check it out!
