Color theory is a set of principles used to determine which colors will look harmonious when used together. It is based on the way that the human eye perceives color, and it takes into account factors like the color wheel, color harmony, and the psychological effects of color. By understanding and applying color theory, artists and designers can create more effective and appealing color schemes for their work.
Using color theory is essential in any aspect of design, especially in animation.
