How to easily generate a color theme for any project
Coming up with a range of colors for a project can be a daunting prospect. Fortunately, there are loads of useful tools out there to help you create the color theme of your dreams. You can take a 'traditional' approach, or use colors from a picture, get help from one of the many online sites or...stand on the shoulders of giants.
After watching these videos, students should never have trouble coming up with a great color scheme ever again!

Hi - I'm Mark Gatter and I'm an Adobe Certified Instructor. My specialist subjects are InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator (and I've got the 'ACE' qualification in all these) but there are other programs lurking in the background, too. I lived in California for 18 years and ended up as the Production Manager for the biggest commercial printers in north California,...
I didn't realize that the so much of the course would be about Adobe products. I'm a fabric artist and don't use Photoshop or Illustrator at all.
Very informative!
Nice, professional, to-the-point explanations. The course will save you a lot of time in real-life. There are not many (any?) examples of actual designs using particular color schemes. I also would appreciate a slightly longer course with more tips how to deal with color spaces like RGB vs Adobe-RGB vs CYMK. The info, concerning CYMK already explains a lot and is really helpful (explained why my wife's business card looked really lousy when it was actually printed). But it does not explain how to handle that kind of problem.
Summary: nice, sweet, short course that won't waste your time.
Somewhat technical. Had trouble applying since I don’t have his particular software programs.

What I was looking for was a more in depth focus on color theory and what it is and how to apply it; specifically leaning towards the color psychology and how to generate effective color schemes for film and games or as the description suggests a "project"; what I got was mostly a list of sites and apps that I could use to generate a color pallet and a very, very surface level overview on color psychology and how to mix colors. The description of the course, being what led me to buy this course, is misleading as well though admittedly I may have just expected too much from it. This course seems to be mostly structured toward people looking to understand CMYK (colors used in printing i.e. the colors of the ink) and RGB (colors used in computers, tv's, ect. to generate what you see on the screen) and how they're mixed to make the colors you see but even for this it is pretty surface level and instead spends way too much time on the apps and websites you can use, dedicating half of the lectures to just these, and giving you a quick and, admittedly, rather lazy tip at the end on how to instantly generate a pallet. Overall I'm disappointed in the course, but if this is what you are looking for that's fine just know what you're buying.
