Color Theory
Color theory is a conceptual framework that explains how colors interact, combine, and affect perception, based on principles from art, design, and science. It includes color models (like RGB and CMYK), color harmony rules, and psychological effects of colors. This theory is essential for creating visually appealing and effective designs in various fields such as graphic design, web development, and user interface design.
Developers should learn color theory to enhance user experience in applications, websites, and digital products by ensuring readability, accessibility, and aesthetic appeal. It is crucial for front-end development, UI/UX design, and branding, helping to convey emotions, guide user attention, and meet accessibility standards like WCAG for color contrast.
