Omg, i'm a developer and i strugle a lot with color now that im learning graphic design. Thanks you very much.

[@DesignerUp]

Hey Daniel! I struggled the same way! Hope this helps! Best

[@els1f]

This was INCREDIBLE!🙌🔥 Thank you for this! Color is one of those things where it's easy to know you like something, but then have no idea why or how to create your own😭🙃

[@DesignerUp]

So true. You know THAT you like it but not WHY you like it 😅

The value to time ratio of this video is nuts. So much information packed into 9 minutes. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge - subscribed!

[@DesignerUp]

Thank you so much for your thoughts on the video! I really do appreciate it! Happy to have you as a subscriber 😃

[@stefanonegroni9944]

Great explicative video on how to choose the right color… exactly what I needed, thank you 🙌🏻

[@DesignerUp]

Very glad to hear it! Thanks for watching 😁

[@damienabbott9805]

Thank you Elizabeth 🙏 I’m so grateful that you have revamped this topic and have taken it to a completely new level.

[@vasileiospanagopoulos]

Your videos are the only ones that make sense in terms of color, imho.

[@DesignerUp]

That’s a huge compliment! Really appreciate it 🙏🏽

[@vasileiospanagopoulos]

@@DesignerUp you earned it 🙏

[@MrTonyradford]

This is amazingly useful! 😮thank you

[@DesignerUp]

Awesome to hear it! Thanks for stopping by 😀

[@PromisseD]

Hey girl hey, love your channel and I have learned so much over the last couple of years from your videos. I actually liked your original video on this because you went more into how to pair them or mix and match the the different tones to make a complete color scheme, which I think is really important.

[@DesignerUp]

Hey my dear!! I’m so happy you came to comment! 💜And yes! I agree, this was just a shortened version to introduce new viewers to my color concept, hopefully it gets more people to watch the original, cause that was def the best! kzbin.info/www/bejne/faq5fqKbn8d6fMksi=suqnUSDsabOUSgwQ

[@graphicdesign5276]

Wow. What was that. This something out of this world. Solved a huge problem that always irritated me.

[@DesignerUp]

Haha, Really happy to hear that helped 😀

[@piccianeri2195]

I love this technique Elizabeth! I do something similar but not as organised as this. Great cheat sheet, too! Thank you

[@DesignerUp]

Oh that’s very cool! Love seeing the color picking process of others! Cheers and enjoy!

Thank you

[@azamjiriyayisharahi7125]

Hi, thank you for your tutorial. I'm selecting the primary color from earth tones. Should I also choose error, success, and warning colors from earth tones, with similar saturation and brightness?

[@DesignerUp]

I think it can be useful to keep your system colors within the same family but it’s not a requirement. As long as you are intentional about assigning your color roles and sticking with them. Here is how Google does it for their design system m3.material.io/styles/color/roles#e14ecb3a-cd4c-41c6-873c-9313128b762a

The best designs can be expressed mathemagically 😘

[@DesignerUp]

You’re welcome so much! 😄

[@toluwanimidaniel30]

I love your videos

[@DesignerUp]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@Monkey_D_Lufffy]

Wait some designers said not to use high saturation in dark mode what should i follow?

[@DesignerUp]

If you use high saturation you also need to use high brightness. Just make sure to check your colors with an accessibility checker such as this plugin for Figma - www.figma.com/@kegorr

[@ChayonShaahOfficial]

So how to make all this tone based in color wheel. If i use complementary then i just can 2 color , can i use jewel tone for this 2 color only and use in my entire website as brand color?

[@humairanaeempasha2362]

Is it just me or do the pastel tones look a bit muddy somehow? Great video btw 👍🏼

[@BlazeShomida]

Hsb and hsl aren’t uniformly even in lightness, oklch uses perceptual lightness which is closer to how are eyes actually perceive lightness vs hsl and hsb which is more of a computed value

[@bipashaanam4514]

Are these applicable in photoshop too?

[@DesignerUp]

Yes this will work in application where you can switch the color model to HSB
