Color Basics
The many varieties and brilliant uses of color make it one of the many joys of life. Understanding its glorious complexities would take a lifetime of study.
However, there are some very handy and simple things to remember about color, particularly when it comes to making a poster.
-
Contrasting colors (ex: light on dark and dark on light) are the most visible.
-
Unless you are working on a very dark or black poster board, avoid using yellow in your lettering.
-
A dull or muted color is best for a background because more colors stand out on it.
-
Too many colors can spoil the mix! Do not use more than 2 main colors on your poster.
-
Colors in the same family work well together - light and dark blue, light and dark green, etc.
