Overview

Color Theory

Color theory is a theoretical framework based on the three attributes of color (hue, value, and saturation), using the color wheel to understand color relationships and create effective color schemes. It is widely applied in design, fine arts, fashion, and interior design, providing techniques to create visual harmony and contrast through color schemes such as complementary, analogous, and triadic colors.
