How Does 10 Colour Schemes You've (probably) Never Heard Of! Work?

Imagine you have 10 different color boxes, and each box has its own special way to mix colors, like a secret recipe.

Now, think of your favorite crayons or markers. When you color, you pick one color and use it as is. But these color boxes are like chefs who take two or more colors and blend them into something new. That’s how you get cool shades you might not have noticed before!

How the Color Boxes Work

Each color box uses a special method to mix colors:

  • One box might mix red and yellow to make orange.
  • Another could combine blue and green for a fresh turquoise.

You don’t need to know all the mixing rules, just like how you don’t need to know how pizza is made to enjoy it. The color boxes do the work behind the scenes, giving you 10 unique color styles to choose from.

It’s like having 10 different flavor ice creams in one freezer, each with its own twist on sweetness and coolness!
