Color Recipes

What if you thought about color the way you think about food — the right ingredients, in the right proportions? That's the idea behind this class, and it makes all the difference.

Most designers who struggle with color aren't missing knowledge — they're missing a system. Color Recipes gives you five practical frameworks, each one showing a different way colors can work together, from calm and harmonious to bold and high-contrast. Once you have these recipes, you'll always have a place to start.

What you'll learn:

  • How to build balanced, cohesive palettes using five recipe-style frameworks

  • How color relationships and proportions shape the feeling of a palette

  • How to analyze artwork to understand why certain color combinations work

  • A fast Photoshop method for exploring multiple colorways quickly

  • How to develop reusable palette references you can return to again and again

By the end of the class, choosing colors will feel less like guessing and more like cooking — you'll know what you're reaching for and why.

“Such an informative and fun class. Using the recipes analogy really helped me to understand the importance of using colors in differing proportions (creating a hierarchy) to create flow and interest in a design. I've previously struggled with creating color palettes in my designs but am now feeling excited to work through the lessons here and make progress!” — Jane Skirrow

“This is a perfect follow up class to color alchemy classes. Loved the analogies with cooking recipes and Kris' explanations how to make a palette work.” — Astrid Blanchard
