How to Set colors?

Step 1: The problem of background color and image color combination is indeed not a simple problem. This generation of designers has more color tools than the previous generation of designers. Nowadays, it is not easy for us to make good use of the rich colors provided by computers. Personally, I have been lost in the world of colors since I worked as a designer. Now let's talk about some of the experiences we have learned and mastered. I hope you can correct them. During actual design of the elements to be paid attention to in color scheme, we often consider the scheme of color scheme and color area associated with the shape and texture according to the design purpose, this solution is my color scheme. In the color scheme, we should consider the following points to highlight the visual effect.
1. base color and image color in the design, we often encounter several colors to make a variety of shapes, as the color of the base, we often push it far, as a graphic or text color, we need to bring it closer. In this case, we need to know what is affected by the color scheme. Generally, bright and bright colors are easier to have graphic effects than dark colors. Therefore, the relationship between the image color and the background color must be considered in order to achieve a clear image effect. The image color must have a certain contrast with the background color. In this way, we can clearly express what we want to express. The color of the image we want to highlight must make it attractive to the viewer. If this is not the case, it will be overwhelming.
Step 2. If we want to make our design feel angry, stable, cold, warm, or cold, it is determined by the overall tone. So how can we control the overall tone? Only the color, brightness, purity, and area relationships that constitute the overall tone are well controlled. To control the overall color of our design. First, you need to determine the color that occupies a large area in the color center, and select different color schemes based on this color to get different overall colors. Select what we want. If we use the warm color series to make our overall tone, it will show a warm feeling, and vice versa. If you use a warm color and a pure high color as the overall color, it gives people a feeling of hot stimulation, with a cold color and low purity color as the main color, it makes people feel cold, calm feeling. The color with high brightness is bright, and it becomes brisk. The color with low brightness is solemn and solemn. Take the contrast of the color and brightness is lively, take similar, the same color is stable. If there are many colors, they will be gorgeous. If there are few colors, they will be elegant and fresh. The overall tone of the above points should be determined based on the content we want to express.
Step 3: The balance of colors is the balance of the intensity, weight, and intensity of colors. These elements have a balanced relationship between the left and right colors. Therefore, even if the same color scheme is used, the color will be determined based on the shape and area of the image. Generally, colors of the same type are easier to balance. In the complementary relationship and brightness is similar to the solid color, such as: red and blue green color, will be too strong feel glare, become not harmonious color. However, if the area of a color is reduced or the area is added to the white black area, the brightness and color of the color are changed and the color is balanced, this non-harmonic color change can be adjusted. When the purity is high and the strong color matches with the turbidity or gray of the same brightness, if the area of the former is small, and the area of the latter is large, the balance can be easily achieved. When you configure the upper and lower colors, if the upper and lower colors appear stable. On the other hand, if the dark colors are bright, they are dynamic.
Step 4: When the color scheme requires a key color scheme, a certain color can be used as the key to make up for the monotonous tone, so that the overall color scheme can be balanced. When the relationship between the overall color scheme is ambiguous, we need to highlight a key color to balance the color scheme. Pay attention to the following points when selecting the key color: the key color should be more intense than other colors. The key colors should be compared with the overall tone. The key color should be used on a very small area. It cannot be used in a large area. You must consider the balanced effect of the color.
Step 5: The color matching rhythm is the overall tone generated by the color configuration. This configuration relationship is arranged repeatedly in the overall tone to produce a rhythm. The color rhythm is related to the color emission, shape, texture, and so on. The gradual variation of the color phase, brightness, purity will change and there are regular patterns, so there is a pace of order adjustment. Make repeated changes to the color, brightness, intensity, and so on several times, which leads to a repeating rhythm. You can give the color configuration a jump and a sense of direction to produce a dynamic rhythm, and so on. We can learn or train to learn more.
In step 6, when the gradient or two or more colors are not harmonious, insert several colors in the middle of the gradient to reconcile the gradient. Gradient of the color ring: the gradient of the color ring, like the color ring, in the red, yellow, green, blue, purple and other colors with the middle color, you can get the gradient change. Brightness gradient: from the color to the dark ladder. Purity gradient: from solid color to turbid color or to the black step change. According to the gradient of the combination of color, brightness and purity, various changes are treated as gradient, thus forming a complex effect. These gradient colors are both harmonic.
Step 7: The so-called unified tone in the color scheme, that is, to ensure the overall unification of the multi-color coordination, we use a tone to control the whole. This color is called the unified color, that is, the dominant color. The unified tone is to add the same color to the color, so that the overall color is unified in a color. To achieve reconciliation. Brightness is adjusted with white or black to make the brightness of all colors similar. This can also achieve reconciliation. Purity is adjusted to add Gray to make the purity of all colors similar
Step 8: the division of two colors in the color scheme is compared if they are in the opposite relationship, which has an excessively strong effect and becomes an inharmonious color. To adjust them, use other colors to separate them. The color used for segmentation is called the segmentation color. Due to the purpose of segmentation, there are not many colors that can be used to separate colors. The most common ones are white, gray, and black. Gold and silver are also separated. However, in our computer, it is difficult to bring up the two colors with a sense of weight, so they are hardly used in the computer. But it can be used in printing. You can use other colors for segmentation, but you must select the brightness that is significantly different from the original color, and also consider the color phase and purity.
The above are some of the problems we pay attention to during color matching and some basic solutions. I think there are more color issues that I have not mentioned here. Such as the feelings of color, the shape of color, the taste of color, the sense of distance of color, and the sense of music of color.
