Using Colour
Reading
Activity
Colour is a really important part of design. Choosing different colours and combinations of colours will completely change the look and the feel of your design.
You are going to be using a really simple design to try out different colour combinations.
Do the reading on the buttons on the left of the page first then have a go with the colour activity where you will be using some of the theory you have just read about.
Make sure you watch the HELP VIDEOS at the bottom of the page.

On each page is the same design and a different colour instruction so you can see the difference that colour makes to the same design.
You will use Black and White plus the colour combination that is indicated on the top left of each page.
Do the five different colour instructions that are on the examples, then do a few of your own. Make sure you label what kind of colour combination you have used.

Use the hex code from Coolors to colour the design on your activity document.
If there is no colour combination on Coolors that you can use (for example, primary colours ), then use the knowledge from your reading to choose a colour combination that is correct.
