Color Theory

Colors are a powerful way to enhance the look and feeling of your design.
Color wheels are broken up by primary, secondary, tertiary, complementary and analogous colors.
Color variations are the different shades and intensity of color possibilities.
Types of colors that are used in web development are RGB (Red, Green, Blue) and CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black).
Mixing colors can evoke the mood of color subconsciously.
