Fun with COLOR!

…Or “Colour”, for those who prefer the “Queen’s English”.

Simply put, know your colors. I’ll be the first to admit that colors have, from time to time, scared the crap out of me. Nothing can ruin an illustration, design, or photography faster than poor color choices. There’s no time like the present to catch up on your color theory knowledge, or experiment with different color themes to use in your work.

Amateur Illustrator has a great intro to Color theory that you can find HERE. If after reading this well written lesson you decide you would like to get more in-depth, head over to worqx.com and get your fill.

Full of Theory? Great! Check out a couple of places to experiment.

kuler – explore, share, and create color themes.

Color Blender – Guess. That’s right, blend colors.

Interactive Color Wheel – it’s a …uh … wheel, of interactive color. No misnomers here.
