White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of
perfection. White means safety, purity, and cleanliness. As opposed to black, white usually has a positive
connotation.
Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery. Black is a mysterious color associated
with fear and the unknown. It usually has a negative connotation (blacklist, black humor, 'black death'). Black
denotes strength and authority; it is considered to be a very formal, elegant, and prestigious color (such as black
tie and a black Mercedes). Black gives the feeling of perspective and depth, but a black background diminishes
readability. Black contrasts well with bright colors. Combined with red or orange – other very powerful colors –
black gives a very aggressive color scheme.
Color Harmony
Harmony is a set of colors that are pleasing to the eye, creating a sense of order and balance. The visual task of
screen design requires a logical structure. Color harmony delivers visual interest, a sense of order, and creates
a dynamic visual equilibrium. Inharmonious color schemes are either dull or confused. At these extremes of bad
design are a bland uninteresting display or an overdone, chaotic display that repulses the viewer.
