Our Verdict
Dive into this comprehensive color theory course for graphic designers, boasting an engaging teaching style and solid exploration of various color systems. Despite minor issues with pacing, disconnect between theory and exercises, and outdated Adobe Illustrator content, the course effectively builds a foundation in color knowledge. However, those expecting explicit lessons on color psychology might be slightly disappointed.
What We Liked

Potential Drawbacks
- The course could benefit from better alignment between theory explanations and exercises, making the connection between the two more explicit.
- Pacing varies throughout the course, with some lessons moving too slowly, especially when dealing with simple tasks like changing HEX values.
- Request for further exploration of creating a cohesive color palette, including elements such as light, dark, bright, and dull colors.
- Some learners have noted the outdated Adobe Illustrator content, specifically in regards to the Adobe Color panel and Pantone Library.
