Question 4

Colour Theory

Answer

Wherever there is light, there is colour. While we think of colours as independent - this is blue, that is red - a colour is never seen alone but always in the context of other colours. Like a musical note, no one colour is "good" of "bad". Rather, it's one part of composition that as a while is pleasing or not. The colour wheel is our tool for understanding how colours relate to one another.
