How can I effectively combine colors in my design?

What are some basic rules for combining colors in design?

A good starting point is to use the color wheel. Complementary colors, which are opposite each other, create contrast, while analogous colors, which are next to each other, create harmony.

Can you give me an example of complementary colors?

Sure! A classic example of complementary colors is blue and orange. They enhance each other when used together.

What about analogous colors? Any suggestions?

Absolutely! For an analogous color scheme, you could use blue, blue-green, and green. This creates a soothing and cohesive look.

How do I choose a color palette for a website?

Start by defining the mood you want to convey. Then, select a primary color and build around it with complementary and analogous colors to create a balanced palette.
