Color harmony involves combining colors in a pleasing way. Animators use it to create aesthetic and balance in scenes, following schemes like complementary or analogous colors.

Analogous colors are next to each other on the color wheel and create harmonious designs. In animation, they're used for serene and comfortable environments.

Triadic color schemes involve three colors evenly spaced on the color wheel, providing a vibrant diversity. Animators might use this for lively and dynamic scenes.

Hue refers to the base colors on the color wheel. In animation, hues help to establish mood and can differentiate between characters or scenes.

Saturation measures the intensity and purity of a color. High saturation can create bold visuals while desaturation can indicate flashbacks or past events in animation.

A monochromatic color scheme uses variations in lightness and saturation of a single color. This approach can help to create depth and focus in animated scenes.

Warm colors (reds, oranges) suggest warmth and energy, while cool colors (blues, greens) suggest calmness and sadness. Animators use them to evoke specific emotions in scenes.

Color grading is the process of altering and enhancing the color of a motion picture. In animation, this can help unify a scene's color palette to fit the story's tone.

Split-complementary colors include a base color and the two colors adjacent to its complementary. This scheme is used in animation for a balanced yet dynamic visual.

Color temperature can make a scene feel warm or cold. Animators use this concept to enhance the narrative by affecting the mood and atmosphere of the environment.

Tint is created by adding white to a color, shade by adding black, and tone by adding gray. Animators use these variations to add complexity and detail to their palette.

Value refers to the brightness or darkness of a color. Animators adjust value for contrast and focus, and to convey different times of day or emotional states.

Color psychology studies how colors affect human behavior and moods. Animators use these insights to influence the viewer's emotional response to the narrative.

Color scripting involves planning the color palette throughout an animation, ensuring visual continuity and reinforcing the story's emotional progression.
