I am surprised that we are not required to take a color theory class for graphic design. For various projects thus far, I found it quite difficult to choose what colors to use and depending on what colors you use, it can either make or break your design. It's so simple and yet so complicated at the same time. Anyways I found a chart of popular logos divided into color categories and apparently, those colors can convey a certain emotion to the viewer. I'm not sure what the basis of some of these emotions to color are (other than green for nature or health), but it's interesting to see them separated like this. Perhaps if you need to make a logo in the future (I'm looking at you guys who have yet to take Typography I) and are unsure of what colors to use, this might be a good place to start for inspiration.
