Why is color important to UI design? In this video, we will take you through the theory and traits behind individual colors, explaining the deeper meanings and associations for certain colors, and how these can shape your user interface designs.
This footage is taken from a recent live event hosted by CareerFoundry’s UI design mentor Olga. The original event covered many more areas like color harmony, color schemes, proportions, contrast, accessibility, and much more.
