I want to create a scale of shades from 050 to 900. (I refer to Material Design Color palettes like here: https://material.io/design/color/the-color-system.html#color-usage-and-palettes)
In a current project, I want to display formulas with different colours on black background.
My idea is that they are easy to distinguish, have good contrast to the black background and fit together nicely.
This is a map of topics the I cover in my project. The topics are segmented in different stages, and I would like to have your advice on how to color the segments. I check the color wheel to find a suitable color template, but I don’t see one really fit with the yellow sky and blue water. In the end I set them while altogether. I satisfy with this, but since I want to learn more about color theory, if you can recommend a good template that would be nice.
Since I don’t know pretty much about, I’d like to ask you:
This is the map of all topics my project discusses:
I’m new to the community but I was wondering if you guys could help me out. Typically when someone want to display a scale of good-to-bad they show something like:
I have always heard the word value used to describe the lightness of a color. Does luminosity refer to the same thing?
I was trying to find the opposite of a web color (let’s take #917AFA as an example) and an online tool told me that it is #6E8505. Then, I used another online tool to find the color that is exactly in the middle between two arbitrary web colors, typed in these two opposite hexes, and got #808080 (medium gray, exactly). Then I tried doing the whole “experiment” a couple more times and always got #808080, from which it became obvious that it was no coincidence, however it was surprising to me.
Children are often taught that Red, Yellow, and Blue are “the primary colors”, with Orange, Green, and Purple “the secondary colors.” This matches neither additive (RGB) nor subtractive (CMYK) color models.
I’m struggling with a little problem. I want to recreate some kind of overlay effect, but I cannot get close to it. I hope some pros among you know how this overlay was created… Note: I have tried all the blending modes of Photoshop but none of them could give me what I wanted. The … Read more
