Could someone with graphic design background explain why colors that are equally spaced on the color wheel would look like "part of a family" any more than erratically spaced colors? I think the old colors were far more attractive.
- mortenjorck 14y agoColors that are equally spaced should look like less of a family. The old, chromatically clustered colors staked out thematic areas of the color wheel, and by not using the whole thing, retained some degree of ownable identity. The CS6 color palette barely even qualifies as a palette.

- rrreese 14y agoLooking at the colour wheel in the article it seems that they choose a set that has high contrast (colours close to each other lack contrast) while haveing a similar degree of luminosity. If they choose erratically then some products would have colours to similar.
