Color comes out of Light. We see light through Colors. To work Paintings , to design Interiors, to illustrate Fashion design, to create Animation world, to do anything with color ,we should understand color and its theory, its interactions, its properties… everything about it.

What is Hue? What is Value ? What is Saturation ? What is Temperature? What are Warm and Cool Colors? Whar are Monochrome and Analogues Colors? What are Complementary Colors? Find the essence of Complementary Colors. Why Simultaneous Contrast is more energetic in its applications? How Color intensity will be changed mixing with grey? How to get Color transition without changing it’s Value? How to keep your Colors fresh?

Why Colors will become muddy? How to recognize Local Color? How to get Color transition without changing it’s Value?

What is the Color of Shadow? What is the Color of Light? What is the temperature of the Highlight in both outdoor and indoors? What is the color of the Reflective light? What is the Color of Cast shadow? How many Color Contrasts are there? What are Color Relations? What is the difference between the Color applications before and after 1850?

Truly few questions to know the answers. But to get them into the mind with proper understanding will take time.
