The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Guide to Color Theory
summary
Uses Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to map concrete color concepts across six sections: color groups, color associations, the color wheel, combinations, properties and accessibility. Claims practical rules — use split complementary or triads, desaturate an accent to build a neutral background — and shows a form built with icons plus text, tested with a color vision deficiency simulator. Cites 4.5% of US users (~13 million) with color blindness and demonstrates the modified form holds up under simulation.
