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.

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.
