Color wheel with the words "Color Theory"

Color theory: Using color to enhance your design

Whether you design for print or digital (or both!), the use of color in your design supports the user experience. At the May 20 UW Design Community session, participants gained insight on color meaning, harmony and how it influences the various aspects of user experience, accessibility and interface design.

Presenters shared tips and tricks for how to think about color in your own work at UW‍–‍Madison and at home.
