On Artbeats.com: Color Theory

Chris and Trish Meyer | 05/18

Why some color combinations work better than others.

Over on Artbeats.com, we’re starting a trio of articles on the use of color: basic color theory, ideas for how to select a workable color palette, and techniques for remembering and easily applying your chosen colors throughout a project. This month is the article on basic color theory, including some basics on picking colors including combinations that do or don’t work for text.
Click here to download the PDF of “Color Theory” from Artbeats.com.

If you’d like some additional creative examples for how to use color, we wrote a column over a decade ago called Getting Behind the Color Wheel which you might enjoy. As with most of our articles, it’s archived here on PVC.

The content contained in our books, videos, blogs, and articles for other sites are all copyright Crish Design, except where otherwise attributed.

NAB 2012: Trucolor Ohm Space Light

Bruce A Johnson | 04/20

400 watts of LED replaces a 6K?  Sounds good to me.

Next time you need to flood a room with soft light - in whatever color temperature - you should give the Ohm a look.
