An outline of my notes focused on color. This draws from Color & Contrast, Wikipedia, Shift Nudge, Erik Kennedy, Addham Dhannaway, etc. ## Introduction * [ ] [[Color is a gift]] * [ ] [[Color, value of understanding theory and concepts]]: While you can just jump in to strategic and practical work, I do think having some background knowledge and conceptual understanding is truly helpful. (Using tools is fine and all, but do you understand what the tools are *doing*? That is why tools come *last*.) Nate Baldwin's resources probably strikes the best balance of theory and practical effect. * I should add a broad note about background knowledge generally. This might also guide me into a stronger philosophy of skill development—knowledge and skillwork developing together, neither being separated from the other, both growing until it becomes *habit* (which addresses part of my philosophy of learning gaps—knowledge and skill, growing together into habit, and more so *assuming* motivation) ## Color Foundations ### Science of Color * [ ] [[Color, nature of]] (physics/sense/perception; anatomy of the eye; vision) ### Color Models and Spaces * [x] [[Color properties]] * [x] [[Color model]] * [x] [[Relationship between color spaces and color models]] * [x] [[Color space]] * [x] [[Gamut]] * [ ] [[sRGB (color space)|RGB]] * [-] RYB * [-] CMYK * [ ] [[Color Appearance Model (CAM)]] ## Hues and Psychology * [[Color, names]] * [[Color, psychology]] * *Secret Lives of Color* ## Selecting Colors * [[Color Schemes]] * Monochromatic * Analogous * Complementary * Split-Complementary > [!question] > In MyMind and HueMint, how are *those* colors deduced? Are they using schemes or finding some other way of relating colors? * [[Choosing Colors in UI Design]] - transform this note into something about finding inspiration for where to start, i.e. Art Direction, brand colors, etc. * [[Color contrast]] * Structural vs interactive colors * Color and depth * Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary * Strategic Color Definitions and Color Roles * Gradients * Gray and Neutral Colors * White & Almost White * Dark UI * [[Color, tools]] * Programmatic design systems ## My Color Story * [ ] [[Color at Select Health (story)]]
