Color theory is the study of how colors work together and how they affect our emotions and perceptions. It's like a toolbox for artists, designers, and creators to help them choose the right colors for their projects. Color theory enables you to pick colors that go well together and convey the right mood or message in your work.

Analogous: Analogous colors are groups of colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel, creating a harmonious and visually pleasing effect due to their similar nature and smooth transitions.
