Art of Colors is an iPhone app about coloration of design.



Color is everywhere, and it is not alone. Actually every single color is influenced by others, the reflecting light, the colors around it, the objectives of viewers … There are ten basic designs, which are complement, monochrome, split-complement, analogous, neutral, clash, split, primary, secondary, tertiary. These are used in Art of Colors for category every emotional color, as you may have seen from screenshots, which are classical, earth, elegant, energy, fashionable, fresh and clean, fresh and cool, friendly, gentle, gloomy, grand, intense, magical, motional, nostalgic, passionate, plentiful, professional, reliable, romantic, traditional, tranquil, tropical, unconstrained.



In Art of Colors, there is almost no explanation, but all color combinations in different design styles and emotions. I think it is better to be as a guide when you are just about to begin a creativity, and of course it is better to always have it on your phone or iPod.



Color is magical, color is unlimited, just like your imagination without limits. So let us be more creative with colors.



Art of Colors, color arts!





Features:

- 1400+ color combinations

- Favourite function

- Simple UIs for faster navigation

- Full screen mode for better view
