Color Theory is key for coders working on graphical user interfaces.
A theory of color puts colors into a logical ordering.
The most basic such is the Primary Colors, Red, Yellow, and Blue, in painting no mixing of colors can create these, they are atomic structures. You can imagine them on a three-part color wheel.
Then you have the Secondary Colors, green, orange and purple, formed by mixing the primary colors.
You can show this on a pie chart of six slices. All this might seem trivial, but even Isaac Newton thought about color wheels in 1666 and he discovered gravity and the laws of motion.
