Artist's Comments

Ok, what i realised is that everytime i have to think up a colour scheme for any of my designs, i have to go back to the colour theory to come up with the best combination as possible. There are a few good sites on the net but you would usually have to search quite abit for just the right one that explains things properly. The text i used here was from an actual website i found where the description is quite helpful
([link])

but the way they did the colour wheel, for me it makes it difficult to be precise, so i did my own little colour wheel alongside, also did the different combinations and how they look when placed together. For the Tetradic Colour Scheme, i didn't do anything for that for i believe that, that last one is purely up to the artist or designer what combination to use since it is hard to harmonize, you would usually have to just go by eye and taste, compared to the other schemes where you can pick them out as i did.

So i am submitting this on deviant art for anyone who may wish to use this tool to help them with their artwork. Now in this Theory it is just based on the basic hues, as we all know there are different shades in colours, and this theory still applies and still works.

Me being a designer i have placed this in the design category for anyone here to use, rather than it being a tutorial

This is very helpful, not to mention lovely to look at design-wise. This looks like it should be a poster or something for an art studio (at a school or for a professional artist). Very simplistic, yet nice. Lovely work!

Thanks for the comment, you are right ay about the poster thing, i might actually print it out for myself in my room haha so i dont always have to be opening up the program just to look at it :)

Great chart. I'm always fighting over what colours to use on my pics so hopefully this'll give me a bit of help along the way.

I find this extremely useful! Thank you so much for taking the time to make an easily understandable, guide to the beginnings of colour theory. Every other thing I've seen has confused me, to varying degree.
