The last thread I posted confused everybody, including myself. But I think I'm able to phrase my question a little better this time.
My question is, how do the software developers decide which colors to use for swatches?
I really need to understand the theory behind this because I am trying to achieve a certain group of colors for a specific use.
- For example in Microsoft Paint, you could have black text, white background, and any of the colors you chose for a colored text box would work the same way! It contrasts just perfectly.
- They must all share a certain characteristic. What this characteristic or property is, I don't know the proper term for it.
If you have any idea what I am talking about, a program, feature, tool, technique to make color sets that all match, please let me know. I've been searching for an answer for a very long time!
