Pantone Color of the Year #63: Challenge | Recap
\n
It’s official! Pantone just announced its 2015 color of the year! That means e-learning designers from around the world will be working this “stirring and flavorful shade” in their demos, courses, and templates.
\n
Challenge of the week
\n
This week your challenge is to design an e-learning template or interaction using Marsala as the primary color.
\n
Your slides can be static or built out as working interactions. Your goal is to work from a single color and show how you will carry that color across your design templates.
\n
Color Tints & Hues
\n
One easy way to work with the color is to create tints and or shades to use for secondary colors. Here’s a quick guide to Marsala’s tints and shades created with the color toner generator I created last year.
\n
\n
Color Pairings
\n
Looking for some color combinations? Try using one of Pantone’s recommended pairings.
\n
\n
Resources
\n
If you’re looking for ideas, consider re-designing one of the templates from our downloads section. Since the templates are already built, you’re free to focus your creativity on the colors.
\n
Here are some good blog articles on setting up templates:
