Color Schemes

Review videos

You now have a client for your website. If you competed the Survey, one of the questions was about color.  It is time to come up with a color scheme for your client.

  1. Create a color scheme for your Client. One color should be the major color with two minor colors OR one major, one intermediate and two minor colors. Use the color and swatches in Photoshop to create a document of basic Squares that will have the three or four colors in them (much like a paint swatch list from the paint store).
  2. Color Scheme generators. These online tools may help you pick some colors.
  3. Directions for creating a color schemes in Photoshop.

    • Choose the rectangle tool from the Tools menu.

    • Yours should look something like this. DO NOT USE MY COLORS. Your color scheme should be unique!
