Color Theory is the study of how colors work together. Hue, Value and Saturation are the ways that make different brightness of a color. Hue
is an attribute of a color that distinguishes it as a color on the wheel. Value
is the tint of the color, how dark it is and how white it is. Saturation
is to purify and vividness of a color ranging from fully saturation. Color Scheme and color temperature are used for Design Harmony. Such as Monochromatic, Analogous, Complemery, Split-Complementary, Triadic, Tetradic, Square, and Warm and Cool Colors.
Monochromatic is to take one hue and create other elements from shades and tints of the color. Analogous uses three colors located beside one of each other on the color wheel. Complemery is the opposite color that you choose. Split-Complementary is by adding colors from either side of your complementary color pair to soften it. Triadic is by taking three equally distant colors on the wheel. Tetradic is four colors from the wheel in two sets of complementary. Square is a variant of tetradi c in which you find four colors that are equally apart. Lastly, Warm and cool colors are the split between the bright colors and dark colors.
