PD COURSE: Create Color Schemes with Ease and Confidence
Ruthanne Hanlon, PPG Paints
Topic Area: Design
Developing color schemes can be overwhelming and, even after
much deliberation, we are sometimes disappointed with the results.
Through this course we'll learn why, and how, colors change from
what we see on a sample to how they look on a larger scale and in
combination with adjacent elements. Understanding those nuances
simplifies the selection process and ensures successful schemes.

Ensuring your process maps to buyer biorhythms is an effective way to
build trust and shorten the process, resulting in happier customers. In
