Color Theory Foundations for Designers
A structured introduction to color systems, relationships, and perception — built for designers who want to make intentional choices rather than guessing.
Four structured programs covering color systems, perceptual psychology, digital palettes, and applied design practice. Each program runs in a distinct cohort with fixed start dates and limited enrollment per group.
All programs are instructor-led with fixed cohort sizes
A structured introduction to color systems, relationships, and perception — built for designers who want to make intentional choices rather than guessing.
A focused course on applying color theory inside digital product design — covering accessibility, component states, dark mode, and building scalable color systems in Figma.
An applied workshop on how color shapes brand perception — covering psychological associations, market positioning, and real-world identity case studies for designers and brand strategists.
A deep-focus program for designers with existing color knowledge — covering advanced contrast logic, color grading for editorial work, expressive palette building, and communicating color decisions to teams.
Color theory is one of those subjects where isolated self-study tends to produce gaps. You pick up hue contrast but miss simultaneous contrast. You learn warm and cool tones but skip the perceptual mechanics behind them. Cohort programs fix this by running topics in sequence, with each session building directly on the previous one.
Each program at Benrfol covers a specific layer of color knowledge — from foundational models like RGB, RYB, and CMYK through to applied decisions in digital interfaces and print layouts. The programs do not overlap. If you are starting from scratch, begin with the first cohort. If you already understand basic color wheels, the intermediate and advanced tracks start from a different point entirely.
Enrollment per cohort is capped. That limit is not a marketing decision — it keeps instructor attention manageable and keeps group critique sessions functional. Larger groups make feedback generic. Smaller groups make it specific.
A step-by-step view of the cohort process from registration through completion
Each program page lists the exact registration window. Spots are held on a first-come basis. No waitlist system — once a cohort fills, the page reflects that status.
Currently openRegistered learners receive a short preparation package roughly two weeks before the first session. This covers technical setup and a single introductory reading to frame the curriculum.
Filling fastSessions run weekly. All are recorded and accessible for seven days after broadcast. Missing one session does not break the sequence if you review the recording before the next one.
UpcomingEach program includes at least two structured critique points. Submissions are reviewed by the instructor and returned with written comments. Peer feedback is optional but encouraged.
UpcomingA completion certificate is issued after the final session and all required submissions are in. The certificate confirms the specific program track completed, not a generic course label.
