Color is an inherent part of design, and one that is easy to apply in CSS: the color property determines the color of selected text, while background alters the percieved color in the space behind the element.
However, color is not without its complications: there are four different methods of applying color in CSS, each with its own purposes. Color is not percieved equally by all human beings: contrast ratio, cultural signifiers and color blindness are all factors that need to be carefully considered. Finally, all web designers need to have an understanding of the basics of color theory: what makes certain shades "work", and why.
Goals: “Paint” web page elements using all four CSS color systems; understand accessibility issues relating to color, together with basic color theory.
