What are three things you learned about color theory and web design yesterday? Go in to detail.

In web design yesterday, we learned many things about color theory.  There are primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Primary colors are colors that cannot be mixed or formed by any other colors to make this color.  Secondary colors are formed by mixing the primary colors. Tertiary colors are colors that are formed by mixing a secondary and a primary color.  There is also color harmony, which is where you are pleasing the arrangement of parts.  Everything balances out and flows, nothing is too hard or too soft on each color.  And lastly, there is color context, which is how a certain color behaves in relation to other colors and shapes.  Like the effect a certain background has on a color, it can be good or bad. You don't want to distract away from the wrong color. Overall, we have learned all about the color theory, but these are just three parts of it that are important!
