High there and this tutorial will get to look at illustrators colleagues.
Basically what it does is we've got all these icons right.
We've set one of the background colors.
OK we want to use this consistently and we want to find colors that complemented all can work well together
and we're going to do something like this with Culligan I'd helped us pick all of these colors and made
sure they all kind of work together in color theory.
All right let's go and check that out now.
All right.
So first up open up color guide dot eye from your exercise files doesn't really matter what file you
are using.
And what we want to do is these background colors.
We just want to get a consistent color group together.
OK and the color guy can be helpful for this.
I don't use the color guy very often.
I feel like there will be people out there that will will give me a kind of an understanding of it so
that you might like.
And that's the thing that's the ticket.
OK so.
And first of all I have nothing selected and pick a foreground color.
OK so I've done my fill.
And was going to pick anything.
OK.
Pick a color and then open up window and go to color guide.
OK.
And you might have to click on this depending on how you've kind of got started you Martha click on
this to activate it to make it work.
Now basically what it's done is depending on what you use last it's going to pick some harmony rules
and it just means like how.
How it kind of interacts with the color wheel.
And in my case I'm using this one that says Rock complement Buell's might be starting off and say try
it and gives you Cup colors.
You use the you know kind of Tri-Ed methodology for the colors.
So what you're not worried about is what these things are called.
You're looking at colors and going oh I like the way that this interacts with my base color.
OK so go through have a look.
I'm going to use right complementary like that one.
And these colors you just go through and say oh you and the one you use kind of going through and saying
you know do I want to use these colors.
You know I guess is as consistency to a group of inconsistent objects like icons will I find what I
imagine them being really useful for is maybe picking say skin tone and then it gives you down the bottom
here not just the colors but tints of that color be really useful kind of maybe if you will using a
wakeup tablet and drawing and wanting to pick kind of versions and tins of that same color.
If you want to get super nerdy about it you can click on this little color wheel here and it will show
you because we're using the stock down here we're using right complimentary and it shows you on the
color wheel what's actually happening.
Say the tray which we talked about it shows you kind of how it's working right this kind of three way
triangle on this color wheel that's going to be for this one.
Just cause I don't use it very often but I really feel like I should be in this course because there'll
be somebody out there that solves a lot of problems.
All right.
That was useful let's get into the next video.
