How to Use Advanced Color Tools in Photoshop

Ever wonder what color actually goes with the color you already have? In this tutorial, Aaron shows you how to use Photoshop's Adobe Color Themes panel together with the Library and Color panels to sample a color from any image and instantly generate complimentary, triad, and monochromatic color schemes to match it. Using a real ad design as the example, Aaron samples a skin tone, builds a matching color palette from it, saves those colors to a library, and then applies them to text and fill layers with a single click, even updating multiple layers at once.
