Colour Theory and Johannes Itten
Johannes Itten was one of the first people to define and identify strategies for successful colour combinations. Through his research he devised seven methodologies for coordinating colours utilizing the hue's contrasting properties. These contrasts add other variations with respect to the intensity of the respective hues; i.e. contrasts may be obtained due to light, moderate, or dark value.
