Color Theory Fundamentals
Understanding Color Psychology
Color psychology explores how colors affect human behavior and emotions. Different colors evoke specific reactions:
- Red - Excitement, passion, urgency, attention-grabbing
- Blue - Trust, security, calmness, professionalism
- Green - Growth, health, harmony, environmental
- Yellow - Optimism, clarity, warmth, energy
- Purple - Luxury, creativity, wisdom, sophistication
- Orange - Enthusiasm, creativity, determination
Color Harmony Models
These established models help create aesthetically pleasing color combinations:
- Monochromatic - Different shades of a single color
- Analogous - Colors adjacent to each other on the color wheel
- Complementary - Colors opposite each other on the color wheel
- Split-Complementary - A base color plus two colors adjacent to its complement
- Triadic - Three colors equally spaced on the color wheel
- Tetradic - Four colors arranged as two complementary pairs
Our Color Palette Generator uses these principles to help you create balanced, harmonious color schemes for your projects.

- WCAG 2.1 AAA standard (enhanced 7:1 ratio for normal text)
- Automatic warnings for low-contrast combinations

- Monochromacy (complete color blindness)
Best Practices for Accessible Design
Don't Rely on Color Alone
Use additional visual cues like patterns, icons, or text labels alongside color to convey important information.
Create Clear Hierarchy
Use contrast not just for accessibility, but to establish clear visual hierarchy and guide users through your content.
Test with Real Users
Whenever possible, test your designs with users who have different visual abilities to ensure true accessibility.
