About the video

Zoe Hong will explain why it is important to know what color theory is about and why you need it in your work. There are a lot of abbreviations and color definitions that need to be explained by a professional like Zoe. So make sure your lessons are as productive as possible and make some notes to memorise the information provided. Moreover Zoe will explain how to use a color wheel which appears to be quite useful for a fashion designer while defining your color value, saturation and temperature.
