We've all spent hours and days to strike the right color balance, only to end up with something that feels simply unremarkable. That's why I crafted the Color Schemer online course and color matching app, to solve this problem for you and me.

Color theory transforms your creative process by helping you:

create more professional, world-class designs in a fraction of the time
quickly prototype multiple color schemes to show to your stakeholders
design with more confidence as you make better informed color decisions
stay ahead of design trends by cracking new color combinations
create unique designs that stand out from the competition
build up unique color palettes out of one key color
stop endless experimentation with colors

You can dive into any section and learn at a pace that suits you. But don't delay; the time spent here will pay big dividends when you take on your next project.

Hands on or Head first?

Color Schemer is a "super-app" for color theory to bring many useful concepts into a simple and pragmatic interface. It's often cited for examples in the course, and comes with a free trial to be your learning companion.

As a self-taught designer and developer, I understand the value of hands-on learning. When you feel familiar enough with a subject, it's more exciting to get your hands dirty with the tools. When you're ready, give Color Schemer a try.

Color: Where Designs Fail or Prevail

In phone directory ads, the color ads are read up to 42% more than black and white. In smartphones, turning on the grayscale mode decreased phone use by 56%. And we can argue that a bad color palette is worse than plain grayscale. By getting the colors right, you can make your designs look professional and be more engaging.

I would spent days tuning colors, to the point where I could no longer tell them apart. After years of frustration, I thought, surely, there must be a science to all of this, and sure enough, there is!

I built a toy for myself to get more color options, and it took me down a rabbit hole. The more time I spent there, the more I realized I need to export what I've learned. It was worth it for my personal productivity, and now, I'm happy to share it with you.
