Adobe Kuler: Color for the Color-Challenged
September 23, 2008
Anyone who has ever taken an eLearning course or watched a PowerPoint presentation (i.e. all of us) knows that the effective use of color is not a common human ability. Based on countless cans of unused interior house paint I have chosen with much deliberation, only to become horrified once I actually put the paint on the wall, I can attest to this assumption.
Fortunately, there are tools available to compensate for these shortcomings. Adobe Kuler comes to mind. Create your own color theme for your eLearning course with the online tools, or choose from thousands of themes created (and rated) by design professionals.
Best of all, it’s free.
And Adobe TV even offers a short (and also free) how-to video for Kuler.
Now there’s no excuse for offensive color combinations in your eLearning courses.
Helpful hint: unless you’re designing a Christmas card, red + green = NO.
