Very little color theory was involved, which I was thankful for because I tried reading his color theory textbook, and I couldn’t get past page two. If you’re a blogger who isn’t a designer, I can imagine you have a hard time picking color schemes, too, so let’s use my personal blog as a case study and walk through his process.
