Introduction and overview with course author, designer and colour consultant expert Bernay Laity

Module 02. Colour Terminology

In this section we will be learning about some of the different words and phrases used to describe the different aspects of colour and its characteristics. This will be an important foundation for you to have a ‘language’ to describe what you see, and to be able to communicate with other designers or your clients.

Module 03. Warm and Cool Colours

The nuances between different colours are often very subtle, yet can completely change the impact of a design. In this section we’ll be learning how to identify this first characteristic of colour, which will help to build your skills for confidently selecting colours for your design projects.

Module 05. Colour Groups

Colour characteristics like warm, cool, clear, and muted can be divided into four distinct groups. Colours within the same group share those similar characteristics.

This reveals how combining colours can either create harmony or disharmony based on whether they share similar characteristics within their group, and highlights the idea that “colour harmony” is a potent tool for designers, impacting both visual and emotional aspects.

• How do harmonious colours affect us?
• What happens when colours are not in harmony?
