#Color Contrast

I had a dream that I went on a date with a nerdy goth rat twink so I tried to recreate his design lol

(Also it's world rat day somehow??? Did rats invade my brain and make me have this dream...)

I really hope that when Rey gets an apprentice they have a purple lightsaber because I love that yellow-purple color contrast

Accessibility PSA #2

Hey kids! It’s time for another tip on making your blogs accessible (ie useable) for disabled individuals!

Let’s talk about color contrast. Did you know that you can actually make your blog inaccessible for some vision impaired user by using the wrong combination of colors on your page?

Best practice is to use text, background, and accent colors that contrast against each other enough to be easily visible to everyone. If you have to squint to see your bio, chances are that there’s someone out there who can’t read it at all.

here’s a neat tool that you can use to check if you’re blog’s color scheme is fully accessible.

Next time, we’ll talk about fonts and accessibility 🖋

6/9/24: Color Theory

Color theory is super fascinating to me, and is for a lot of other people, I'm sure. Some people are more confused than intrigued by it, and rightly so; it is confusing in some aspects.

The most viral example of this theory that comes to mind is the "Is the dress blue/black or gold/white" question that came about in 2015. The dress looked like this:

I remember the argument going on for what seemed like forever. People genuinely got angry about this. It was a wild time.

But the only real reason that it was hard to come to a conclusion was because the dress was lit by its surroundings in a way that was confusing to the human eye. Some people's brains translated it as white with gold lace, whereas others translated it as blue with black lace.

I personally believe the original dress is blue and black. You can fight me if you want, but that's what my eyes see.

Regardless, back to color theory as a whole. It's really cool to me how one color on one background can be seen as a different color on another background, and yet still be the same color. I'm no expert on the subject, but from what I've researched a lot of it has to do with contrast, and in general, how color behaves in relation to other colors.

I learned the basics of color in my art classes- primary, secondary and tertiary colors on the color wheel- but when it comes to my own art I find myself throwing that out the window in favor of how I see the result in my own head, instead of using color theory to try and improve it beyond that point.

I would love to understand color theory more in order to implement it in my own work. I've seen some artists take color theory and make their art pop with it really well, especially in character design.

Take Regan from Far-Fetched, for example. (Just so you know, I may be talking about this particular in-progress show a lot. I love it. That is all.)

Not only do I like how the pink gives their hair extra interest, but I also like that it extends to their outfit as well. It also allows their hair not to blend in with the shirt. The green on the hoodie and leggings pops, drawing the eye to them without needing to be a super saturated neon color. It's a simple light yellow-green, but the contrast with the greyish-purple makes it seem less like a pastel.

Not only this, but purple and green are complementary colors-- they are opposite from one another on the color wheel, and therefore create a pleasant contrast. Pink and green function similarly, so pink was a good choice here too.

The darker colors of Regan's outfit also add to the pop that the other bright colors give. Darker colors or black allow color in outfits to shine that much more. Again, contrast.

In summary, color theory is really cool, and not only that, it makes for some great aesthetics in art. The teams in some of my favorite media (graphic novels, cartoons, indie animation, etc.) know what they're doing when it comes to color, and I hope to be, if not just as good as, approaching that level of expertise someday.

Thank you for reading, I'll be back next Sunday!
