"why experts do a good decision colors"

@@alex.g7317 who cares. English isnt everybody’s first language

[@Kensingtonhawk]

​@alex.g7317 Being fluent in english is not the flex you think it is. OP knows english cause it's one of the languages he speaks, whereas you know english cause it's the only language you know. Try having a common sense next time cause what OP said was easy to decipher.

[@JohnUntivero]

Anyone notice how he's using his colors (purple, peach, black) on his camera with the lights being purple, the skintones close to peach, and background/shirt being black with slight purple

[@waleedreaper]

Yes, those are colors that are used to gain trust.

[@riledmouse4677]

Wow, this video is one of the most helpful design tools I’ve ever come across. I’m not formally trained in design but I’m really interested in it and I need to understand it for my work. It’s been so hard to comprehend any of the written resources I’ve found. This just simplified things in such an accessible way, and gave me a place to get started from. I know it’s all pretty rudimentary but it feels like the missing link to help me actually begin to come up with a workable color scheme for my businesses. Thank you very much!

[@TrueEssencePhotography]

Exactly!!!

It took UI for me to start viewing Black and White as Colours I could actually plan with. In Arts school, it's viewed as neutral colours that you just use to mix other colours for the right tone or shade

[@noskillzdad5504]

well, in "science-world" they are not even colors... ;)

thank you so much for these! as someone with logic-dominant brain, i suck at creativity. grateful to find your channel 💜

You don’t suck at creativity. You just probably don’t exercise it enough. Studying like you are right now will definitely help you! Good luck :)

thanks for acknowladging the intelligence of the viewers and the customers in your videos, a lot of graphic designers need to see this

[@picmakerhq]

5:23 60/30/10 rule always works! It's awesome to watch you bring this up in the colors topic :)

[@alexbaciu8211]

This is a very helpful starting point and works great for basic designs. However, I want to encourage everyone to not stop here with learning about palettes, because once you get into more than just simple brochure sites things start to change. In those cases starting with 3 colors like this is still your best bet, but you will most likely have to create shades for each of them. Add to that messaging colors (your reds for errors, greens for success, and so on) and things can easily start to get out of hand. On top of all that you will also have to manage the contrast between your colors so you can keep your UI's accessible.

[@shinyshinythings]

Thank you for bringing up the importance of accessibility!

[@GrgoPetrov]

Great tool. Choosing colours truly is a pain in the ass, especially when you have to take into account the print (cmyk, pantone) and the best compromise between the online and printed visual consistency. I am so happy when you just have to do the digital part. :-)

[@middleburyastrology]

Love this video :) Thanks so much for making this 60/30/10 clear. I've been designing graphics for years and am finally learning color theory. Thank you!

[@jrareising5344]

Really a useful content...Now I don't have to keep repeating my color scheme subconsciously..

[@FluxAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MuhammadYamman]

Yes it was really helpful. But there is nothing wrong with using same scheme again and again if fits a brand or business. Don’t be shy to repeat colors in projects.

[@anonymousppl4528]

I spent a few months trying to figure out a color palette for my website. Now I know what I must do. Thanks bro!

[@chukaodunna5461]

Lol, you sounded like Thanos 😂

[@anonymousppl4528]

[@tomoworks5627]

I failed my capstone hi-fidelity mock ups just because of color. I cannot tell you how many sources I tried to figure out how to deal with color. This might have finally been the key for me to get past this door. Thank you so FREAKING much! 🏆

[@gustavo15798]

Thanks a lot for helping non-designer people. Straight to the point. I'm start a project, so it's probaly be needed.

[@encoredma]

I just love your channel! Your videos are always so clear and concise, and straight to the point. You explain things so well, without being long winded (thank you!). I’m learning so much from you:-)

[@helenchinweike8080]

Thank you so much for this . You have saved a soul from difficult in selecting colours.

[@mattmeetmatt]

Some of this useful. I would say that relying on algorithms for color choice is not a good idea. It's a quick fix leading to a bigger problem. Taking the time to study a little color theory would be much more beneficial. For example, if a client asks you why you chose those colors to represent their brand, "it's what the computer said would work" isn't going to fly. Start with Josef Albers on color theory and go from there. You'll make much better color decisions.

[@emilycolt9880]

Nice video! I like that even your filming setup uses all 3 of your colors, and that you're actually one of them!

[@remusb]

That smooth zoom from the intro. Smoooth!

[@CJBuzz-uk8hp]

I love all these rules. Although they're helpful for beginners and sophomoric designers. I think more experienced and capable designers get expand on this beginner palate.

This is a super cool video! I'd love to see more about color usage. Specifically, what is implied by using contrasting colors, compared to similar colors? What is implied by a gradient? And what other techniques are there? I'd love to learn about that. I'm not sure what that's called though.

[@SisiBisi-zh1cj]

Thank you

[@adamstuartclark]

I tend to use this approach but with two groupings ("main stage" and "supporting acts"). "Main Stage" colours are brand inspired, while "Supporting Acts" are derived from a functional UI standpoint (error/success states, links, etc). It's important to know if these will clash.
