When we talk about color, an important topic is how to combine colors, specifically contrasts and harmony class. Contrast doesn't always mean harmony. Opposite colors have more contrasts, while the close colors have less, and here is more noticeable the harmony between them. The rule of 60 30 10 is the proportion to successfully combine colors. Choose a dominant color and use it in 60% of the space, another secondary so that it is in 30% and a last color for the remaining 10%. Yes only 3 colors and it is something that is used a lot in interior design. When designing an interface , we need to think that we are designing our living room, and every tone of color, lighting and position must be perfect and have functionality.

The human eye can see more than 10 million colors. We can always find harmony and contrast in nature and what we see. Nature, objects, animals, spaces, everything has a color palette, we just need to take a lot of attention. Shadows are never black, and lights are never white. There’s a very common mistake we make when we use light and shadow, is to think that if we want to make a shadow we need to put a black color with opacity and for light we must use white with opacity. In real life, the darkness always has some tones of its base. Darkness is never black, darkness is the color tone of the object that is shaded with value tones. The shadow of the lemon is a very dark green almost black and the shadow of the wooden board is a very dark brown almost black. But it is never black. Black would be only when there is a total absence of light.
