How to use the color wheel to create colorful presentations
Color combinations basics for
presentation designers
The 12 colors in the color wheel can be
combined in different ways.
Some of the colors are considered warm,
and some cold. Some are considered be
complementary in different ways. Colors
next to each other are called analogous and
using the same color and its tints tones and
shades is called monochromatic.
We can use these color combinations in the
color wheel to create color schemes.
