1
00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:04,930
So what about colors now?

2
00:00:04,930 --> 00:00:05,763
On this page,

3
00:00:05,763 --> 00:00:09,140
we don't use too many colors at first sight,

4
00:00:09,140 --> 00:00:10,920
and this is also true,

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,730
but actually you can keep

6
00:00:12,730 --> 00:00:15,510
three things in mind when working with colors.

7
00:00:15,510 --> 00:00:18,210
And these are all sort of things you see on this page.

8
00:00:19,230 --> 00:00:23,160
The first thing is, gray is always required

9
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,930
because if you look at this page,

10
00:00:24,930 --> 00:00:28,420
you see that the background of this card here is white.

11
00:00:28,420 --> 00:00:29,560
But besides that

12
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,790
we are using a gray background for the entire page.

13
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:35,230
So if I check out the HTML element

14
00:00:35,230 --> 00:00:37,160
and unselect the background color,

15
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:38,320
then you obviously see it,

16
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,760
that this gray adds

17
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,650
a different tone to our page,

18
00:00:41,650 --> 00:00:43,260
a different look,

19
00:00:43,260 --> 00:00:45,180
and more importantly,

20
00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:50,010
gray is also used for the fonts for the text in here.

21
00:00:50,010 --> 00:00:51,450
And you might not see this,

22
00:00:51,450 --> 00:00:53,370
but if I go to the h1 element

23
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,380
and then go down

24
00:00:56,380 --> 00:00:57,640
to my properties

25
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,893
and unselect the color property,

26
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,860
then you see that this is not black.

27
00:01:03,860 --> 00:01:08,200
Now it is black, but we use a very dark gray tone,

28
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,760
and we are doing this because well,

29
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,650
pure black tends to look a bit unnatural.

30
00:01:14,650 --> 00:01:16,360
And with this gray tone, well,

31
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,320
we can achieve a more natural look.

32
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:23,020
And if you undo this, you probably see what I mean.

33
00:01:23,020 --> 00:01:24,730
This gray, I think looks better.

34
00:01:24,730 --> 00:01:25,970
It looks more natural.

35
00:01:25,970 --> 00:01:28,453
It looks more integrated into the page.

36
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:31,720
And this logic can also be found

37
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,670
in other text parts on this card.

38
00:01:34,670 --> 00:01:37,310
For example, card info,

39
00:01:37,310 --> 00:01:38,630
as you can see it,

40
00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:40,710
this is a gray tone.

41
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:43,120
If I undo that it will look different

42
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,540
and it would also

43
00:01:44,540 --> 00:01:47,420
move away the focus of the h1 element.

44
00:01:47,420 --> 00:01:50,380
With that, h1 is more the focus.

45
00:01:50,380 --> 00:01:52,300
Same thing for the price.

46
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:54,910
The price here also has a gray tone.

47
00:01:54,910 --> 00:01:56,580
There, it's a bit hard to see,

48
00:01:56,580 --> 00:01:58,640
but still we have a gray tone.

49
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,860
We don't have pure black in here,

50
00:02:00,860 --> 00:02:02,120
and this can also be found

51
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,423
for all the other elements on this page.

52
00:02:05,460 --> 00:02:07,490
So that's the first color topic.

53
00:02:07,490 --> 00:02:10,280
Gray is actually always required,

54
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,990
and it helps to achieve a more natural,

55
00:02:12,990 --> 00:02:15,743
a more professional look of our website.

56
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,340
Besides gray, first core topic,

57
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:22,563
we typically also choose a primary color.

58
00:02:23,630 --> 00:02:25,840
What is our primary color here?

59
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,410
Well, our primary color would be this blue tone, probably.

60
00:02:30,410 --> 00:02:32,780
So if we would have a bigger page,

61
00:02:32,780 --> 00:02:34,953
you would find this blue again and again.

62
00:02:36,450 --> 00:02:38,660
An example for such a primary color

63
00:02:38,660 --> 00:02:40,983
can be found here on udemy.com

64
00:02:42,175 --> 00:02:44,170
Udemy.com, well obviously has

65
00:02:44,170 --> 00:02:46,830
this purple tone as primary color.

66
00:02:46,830 --> 00:02:50,210
You can find it up here for this information

67
00:02:50,210 --> 00:02:51,690
at the top of the page.

68
00:02:51,690 --> 00:02:53,280
You can find it here,

69
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,470
if I zoom in a bit,

70
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:56,520
on top of the logo.

71
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,103
And if I scroll through the courses here,

72
00:03:00,620 --> 00:03:02,260
you can also find it on there

73
00:03:02,260 --> 00:03:04,500
for these highlights of the course topics.

74
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:06,230
And you can also find it on here

75
00:03:06,230 --> 00:03:07,983
for the additional information.

76
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,230
So this is a primary color,

77
00:03:11,230 --> 00:03:14,160
so the core color you're using on your website,

78
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,260
your corporate identity in the end.

79
00:03:17,260 --> 00:03:20,100
And of course we are not limited to one specific

80
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:22,290
tone of this blue color here.

81
00:03:22,290 --> 00:03:25,320
Same thing applies for the gray tone as we saw it,

82
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,670
but we'll dive into the different iterations,

83
00:03:28,670 --> 00:03:30,350
the different colors we have

84
00:03:30,350 --> 00:03:33,650
inside such a color schemer in a few minutes.

85
00:03:33,650 --> 00:03:36,370
The important thing at this point is that we have the

86
00:03:36,370 --> 00:03:39,610
gray color tone in general and the primary color,

87
00:03:39,610 --> 00:03:41,890
our corporate color, so to say,

88
00:03:41,890 --> 00:03:45,483
which can be found on many places on our website.

89
00:03:47,210 --> 00:03:51,580
Besides the gray color and the primary color, on some pages,

90
00:03:51,580 --> 00:03:55,403
on some occasions, you might also see an accent color.

91
00:03:56,270 --> 00:03:59,440
An accent color right here could be a badge for example,

92
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,270
which you might have on this card

93
00:04:01,270 --> 00:04:04,360
saying that we have a special offer at the moment.

94
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,530
And this could be a yellow background, for example,

95
00:04:07,530 --> 00:04:10,330
to highlight the specific character

96
00:04:10,330 --> 00:04:12,093
of this card at the moment.

97
00:04:13,010 --> 00:04:14,980
But generally with a gray tone,

98
00:04:14,980 --> 00:04:18,380
a primary color and this accent color,

99
00:04:18,380 --> 00:04:20,680
you're actually well-equipped

100
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,580
to create a good looking website.

101
00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:26,120
However, at this point of the module,

102
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,550
you'll see that we have

103
00:04:27,550 --> 00:04:30,650
different options to work on our page.

104
00:04:30,650 --> 00:04:33,750
So spacing, fonts and colors, basically,

105
00:04:33,750 --> 00:04:37,200
and I'm always talking about different ranges.

106
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,940
So ranges for spaces, ranges for

107
00:04:40,940 --> 00:04:42,500
font sizes,

108
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:43,810
for font weights,

109
00:04:43,810 --> 00:04:47,540
and also ranges for different color choices.

110
00:04:47,540 --> 00:04:51,300
A range of gray colors, a range of primary colors,

111
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:53,000
a range of accent colors.

112
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,990
So these ranges are something

113
00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:58,193
we cannot grab at the moment, right?

114
00:04:59,030 --> 00:05:01,420
So actually what we would need is

115
00:05:01,420 --> 00:05:04,290
a predefined range of

116
00:05:04,290 --> 00:05:07,230
font sizes, colors, and so on,

117
00:05:07,230 --> 00:05:11,630
we can choose from without always having to go into our

118
00:05:11,630 --> 00:05:16,630
tools for example, and checking out a new RGB color here,

119
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,790
which might be a great fit.

120
00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:22,580
So a preset of predefined colors and so on,

121
00:05:22,580 --> 00:05:24,800
would be a nice helper to again,

122
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,070
focus on to the actual design

123
00:05:27,070 --> 00:05:30,510
and not to get lost in choices like this.

124
00:05:30,510 --> 00:05:32,580
Therefore, we are now leaving this, well,

125
00:05:32,580 --> 00:05:35,120
general theory part of this module

126
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,593
and dive into a new concept.
