The use of colors is very important when you create educational material because it helps us to present in a formal and creative way the pedagogical activities. For this reason, colors facilitate learning and make the development of an activity more enjoyable as students become more participative when it comes to using different colors.
The colors and their respective combinations have a function in the emotions of the people, that is why it is necessary to know the different functions of each color.
The colors serve to give life to all the things that surround us because nature surprises us in the way of using colors in different areas. All the things that surround us are identified by their color and that is why they play a very important role in our life.
Each of the colors plays a role in the educational area, that is why you have to be very careful when you take them as educational material and how we mix them with other colors.
