Color Schemes

A football team, with complementary colors, is the Denver Broncos. Their colors are blue and orange. These colors are across from each other on the color wheel. Orange is created by mixing red and yellow. Green is created by mixing yellow and blue. Purple is made by combining blue and red. All the secondary colors are made by mixing two of the primary colors. Tints are lightened colors. You start with white and add color to it until you get the tint you want. With shades you start with the color and add black to it. You keep adding black to it until you get the desired shade. The neutral colors are clack, white, grey, and sometimes brown. The neutral colors have equal parts of the three primary colors. The three main types of color schemes are analogous, complementary, and monochromatic.

On The Cutting Edge

1. The CEO of a large company is requesting the RFP.

2. Chris called a meeting in the zone, to prove to the CEO that the team can handle the job.

3. Our group will prove we are the best choice for the job by telling the CEO what our idea of the perfect website is, but also using what they think the perfect website has.

4. Each group member will  have to make a list of what they think should be on a perfect website. After the lists are made we can join them and find the best way to do it.

5. These words are not good enough to satisfy the CEO because not everyone has the same idea of "easy" "cool" and "fun".

6. The CEO wants a perfect website for their company. The CEO also wants to make sure she picks the right team to make it. We can accomplish this by taking ideas from the best websites we can find.
