Color palettes for online sites
Six years ago I concentrated on teaching my students the “browser-safe” palette. That’s not so important nowadays. But a lot of journalism students still don’t know anything about using color effectively.
The Color Scheme Generator is a great help.
I’ve used a lot of similar tools over the years, but this one is the best ever. I still see a need to introduce students to the color wheel and the idea of color as a science (rather than something we just cook up based on luck and personal preference), but there’s so much material to cover, I have to keep color theory to a very small portion of the course.
