How to choose colours for your design?

Choosing colours for your design can sometimes be confusing. Some times you have lots of creative ideas but you do not know which colour would look good or most of the colours which you choose are looking good on your design. I have some design tips for you which would somewhat take you all out of confusion.

Try to relate colours of your brand:

Always look what colours your brand is using. If the brand’s colours are not suitable for your design try to go white if the background is shady or dark or black if vice versa. You would need to contact the company whether they are alright in changing the colour for particular design work. You can always put some part of that colour in your design to show that it represents their brand and can be creative.

The colour wheel:

Of course everyone knows about it. It sometimes comes as a rescue to designers.This wheel is composed of primary colors, secondary colors (mixture of  primary ones) and the mix of those two categories, the tertiary colors.

Monochromatic: variations of shades, tints and tones of a single color.

Analogous: a color and the shade right next to it on the wheel.

Complementary: a color and its exact opposite on the wheel.

Triadic: three colors equally spaced on the wheel.

Colour Palette:

You can pick colours from your photos instead of randomly selecting them. As colours have relationships we can always choose the colours which are already there in the photo and can blend it in our design to make it look stunning.
