sorry for the poor quality, trying to hurry and get out of the beginning.

2nd in a day!

Nuzlocke woo hoo!

Okay, first of all; what's wrong with this picture? What's good about it? Really, honestly- not much. It's pretty boring, and it doesn't tell us much. Sure, we see a cat walking down the street, he sees some food, he eats it, but behind all that is nothing.

Let's try something else. Color gives feeling; it establishes mood between the lines. The minty sage greens give a sense of peace, perhaps suggesting the cat really doesn't need the food desperately. It seems a bit empty*. The green could also give a sense of sickness.
*Note! Empty isn't the same as boring! It can give an eerie feel, or even a laid back one.

Now, this picture is very similar to the one above, but it still is a bit different. The warm colors against white make the ground seem inviting, and the sky seem desolate.

This picture seems to give a sense of sickness and fear. The yellows, grays, and greens make the cat look scared and miserable.

 Looks familiar, hm? What's different is that it's switched.

Spooky! The bright eyes and magic glowing cheeseburger against black make the cat look desperate for food, and the food itself look holy and important.

 What is color theory?

(for dummies like you and me)

Okay, color theory... where should we start? Let's begin with the almighty color wheel, full of hues. A hue is simply a "pure color" or a color that has no white, black, or grey added to it.

We start with the 3 primary colors- Red, Blue, and Yellow, the building blocks of color; you mix these basic colors to get the following.

 

3 Secondary colors- Orange, Green, and Purple. They are what you get by mixing one primary with another (i.e; red+blue=purple).

The final colors on a color wheel are called Tertiary colors- Reddish purple, Reddish orange, Yellowish orange, Yellowish green, Bluish green, and Bluish purple, 6 in all. They are the product of a primary and a secondary (i.e; green+yellow= lime green, or yellowish green).

Now, of course you must be thinking, "Well, there are so many more colors than those!" Well, you sir are right! There's more! 

 How saturated a color is is how intense the hue is. This creates many more possibilities of colors. Then we introduce tints and shades. A tint is a color with white added to it, and a shade is with black.
