We are talking color here. Now, color is super-important in design. So, when in doubt, turn to your handy-dandy color wheel here.

Things to keep in mind are your primary colors, which is red, yellow and blue. The other thing to keep in mind are your secondary colors, which is a combination of your two primary colors, like your red and your yellow make orange.

Now, there is something called tertiary colors, and that’s a combination of your primary colors and your secondary colors. For instance, when you mix a red and an orange, you get red-orange.

Complementary colors lie across from each other on the color wheel. And what’s nice about this thing, it shows you your warm colors on one side and your cool colors on the other.
