I love how you give a concise presentation that gets me thinking. This is a huge topic, one that I don't need to be an expert in... but one that I need to be aware of. Thank you 🙏

One thing to add: paper culture is still prevalent especially in Asia. So a coloring scheme, that’s distinguishable when printed with black & white or grayscale setting, is actually important. My old manager used to nag me about how low saturation is indistinguishable in black & white, which somehow was one of our client’s preferred printer setting😅 Many firms use client’s slide template for deliverables and have some freedom with coloring so beware if you’re ever in that situation

My professor here in a renowned university told me to apply Gestalt principles whenever I create dashboards or even slides.

Interesting presentation. Keep up the great work!

I remember seeing a pamphlet for a 1970s Smith Corona typewriter which used pop out ribbon cartridges. The cartridges were available in different colors, and the pamphlets suggested that blue print on white paper was easier to read than black print, and that black print stood out more on yellow paper. I don’t know if any scientific basis existed for this claim, but I tend to use blue font in my email to this day.

Great video! I highly recommend you guys to watch Acerola's videos on Color Theory next.

Very nice video ,

[@SatyendraSingh-xs3fk]

Great Content! What is the quick way to select a secondary color pallete which matches with organization color theme?

[@sierra9713]

Check out color theory. Complementary colors are opposites on the color wheel. Using "split complementary" tones is often the correct answer for brand harmony!

[@tim65577]

Great Content!

Very relevant. Thanks

Amazing Content!

[@paulwild7809]

Good video

[@RichardDurham]

That sounds useful. How do I select colours that will look good in either default or dark mode?

[@Steven-xf8mz]

helpful, but I would say it's better to be aligned with your audience. Client Meeting = look through client's previous work sample or company website to get a similar feel. Repetition is more powerful than you think it is, it's almost like brainwashing, if we tell ourselves it makes sense enough time it makes sense. What's intuitive to ourselves isn't necessarily true for the audience. For example, I mostly use green and red for expense and revenue, but a client could be using blue and red for decades may not feel the same way i do.

If color theory is so important, then how come radiation symbol is yellow, road signs are mostly black on yellow. Color theory is secondary to visibility when it comes to very important things?

[@nicolasdenis7094]

Only in the US, rest of world it is mostly red / white / black / blue colors on traffic signs. Red for everything that is a warning or prohibitory and blue for everything which is mandatory.

[@jugjivan]

Those are American colours. Most of the world uses different colours and standardised traffic signage. The USA is an anomaly when it comes to adoption of standard road signs, not just with colour but also with the dependency on text and shape. The tradition symbol as designed by UC Berkeley was originally magenta on blue with the blue replaced with yellow because it didn't fade as fast outdoors and then the magenta changed to black. The new ISO standard international radiation symbols are black on red.

[@katerina373]

@@jugjivanUS uses black and yellow, because these are two colors that can be seen by color blind people and people with low vision

[@jugjivan]

@katerina373 a factor that you pulled out of thin air. The facts surrounding the use of those colors is factually from what I typed out over a year ago. You can search it up on Google. That is a made-up justification, when in reality, it was all about the available paint types at the time the color yellow was adopted and a stylistic switch from magenta to black. The rest of the world isn't stupid to standardize different colors.

[@worldofdata]

great concept :)

[@fans_ball]

we want c Arabic

[@banethescientist]

What colors are UN, NATO and democrats. Just asking

[@firdausismail3020]

Have you ever experienced confusion with colors? Let me share two examples related to the color RED: 1. I once collaborated with a Chinese client. While for many, red might have negative connotations, in Chinese culture, it is associated with positivity, wealth, and good luck. This cultural difference required me to adjust the design of my dashboard 2. Another instance was during an event hosted by the Ministry of Health, where they used RED to indicate an increase in health issues. It took me a while to understand why they chose RED for the upward trend when presenting health-related data using green and red arrows
