Colour theory is both the science and art of using colour. It explains how humans perceive colour; and the visual effects of how colours mix, match or contrast with each other. Colour theory also involves the messages colours communicate; and the methods used to replicate colour. However, there are three basic categories of colour theory that are logical and useful : the colour wheel, colour harmony, and the context of how colours are used. Colour theory is the collection of rules and guidelines which designers use to communicate with users through appealing colour schemes in visual interfaces. To pick the best colours every time, designers use a colour wheel and refer to extensive collected knowledge about human optical ability, psychology, culture and more. Colour is the aspect of things that is caused by differing qualities of light being reflected or emitted by them. To see colour, you have to have light. When light shines on an object some colours bounce off the object and others are absorbed by it. Our eyes only see the colours that are bounced off or reflected.
