- Complementary colors are opposites on the color wheel—red and green
- Analogous colors sit next to one another on the color wheel—red, orange, and yellow
- Triadic colors are evenly spaced around the color wheel and tend to be very bright and dynamic.

Color theory is a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual effects of a specific color combination. It explains how humans perceive color and the visual effects of how colors mix, match, or contrast with each other.

Color Theory

Graphic design is the process of visual communication and problem-solving through the use of typography, photography, iconography and illustration. The field is considered a subset of visual communication and communication design, but sometimes the term "graphic design" is used synonymously. Graphic designers use typography, visual arts, and page layout techniques to create visual compositions. Common applications of graphic design include corporate design (logos and branding), editorial design (magazines, newspapers and books), wayfinding or environmental design, advertising, web design, communication design, product packaging, and signage.

A design system is a set of clear standards and rules for how and why to use and manipulate UI elements so that the end result has structure and meaning. The design system system guides the UI designer in their design process so that the end result embodies the set of concepts given. This system usually contains a collection of reusable components, that can be assembled together to build any number of applications.

I would like to propose to change the color palette that is used in the 1Cademy intro video to utilize a complementary color palette consistently throughout. This will help organize the visual information presented in the video better, allowing the viewer to follow and retain the information that is presented to them. I used a color calculator to make sure that the colors that I chose were complementary to one another. These colors also match the interface design, reiterating brand recognition to the viewer as well.
