Instructional design/Color and Design/Learn More

I hope you enjoyed this lesson and passed the quiz with flying colors! You now have a greater awareness of how people see, combine and attribute meaning to colors, and hopefully some new ideas on how to apply color. My wish is that you never see color in the same way again, and that you continue to learn from the colors you see.
