We continued that idea by comparing the preparation of our colors for digital or print when creating our art, and the differences that DPI or PPI play in displaying our art. We discussed the three aspects of what creates a color (hue, saturation, and value), the color wheel, color palettes, color relationships, and color temperatures.
