Hints

Dominant

Colour is so important mainly because its everywhere and people know things just from the colour like if someone was asked what NBA team is blue and yellow they would say Golden State Warriors.

Like in this photo above all of the fonts are different from the warriors to the Nike and Rakuten


I was asked to make different squares made up of different types of colours.

Monochromatic

Here I have chosen the colour blue. Monochromatic means you only use 1 colour. Here is diiferent shades of blue, It’s going from a light blue to a dark blue.

Complementary

Complementary colours are 2 colours on opposite sides of the colour wheel.

Tricolour

Tricolour is when you have nearly 2 colours next to each other on the colour wheel and then you have a colour directly opposite the other 2 colours.

Harmonious

Harmonious colours are when you have 2 colours next to each other on the colour wheel. I picked purple and blue because I prefer cold colours than warm colours.
