How to Manage Colors in Animation Desk
How to Choose Colors for Your Animations
Color can demonstrate energy, emotion, and contrast. You can group colors as cold and warm color schemes. On the color wheel, each color has its complementary and analogous colors. The former creates vivid contrast, while the latter is harmonious. There are also triadic color schemes, split-complementary color schemes, rectangle (tetradic) color schemes, and square color schemes.
