Have you ever wondered how some artists are able to find perfect color combinations that just seem to work, every time? In this video, I’m going to show you how to use the color wheel and color harmonies to choose color combinations that look GOOD.

Here’s what we’ll cover:
Basic color theory: What is the color wheel?
What are the primary colors?
What are secondary and tertiary colors?
What is the difference between hue, color saturation, color value, and color temperature?
What is the difference between warm red and cool red?
What are color harmonies?
What are monochromatic colors?
What are complementary colors?
What is a splitcomplementary color scheme?
What is a triadic color scheme?
What are tetradic colors?
What are analogous colors?
How can I use color harmonies to choose colors?
How can I use color palettes?

We’ll cover the 6 different types of color harmonies, including plenty of example color palettes:
1. Monochromatic colors
2. Complementary colors
3. Splitcomplementary colors
4. Triadic colors
5. Tetradic colors
6. Analogous colors

We’ll be using the traditional RYB color wheel throughout this video, with the primary colors Red, Yellow and Blue. There are other color wheels (RGB and CMY) that are often used for better color mixing, but the RYB color wheel is still the best for working with color harmonies.
