Argue for the effectiveness of certain color palettes over others to create different moods.</li>
135      <li>While some experts argue there are no new color palettes, others argue innovation is a constant process. Choose one side, and build an argument: There are no new color palette innovations. New color palette innovations are happening all the time.</li>
136      <li>Select three examples of color theory in practice that are all part of one medium (e.g. film, magazine, television). Explain why these three examples are effective. Contrast and argue why one of these examples is more effective in its use of color theory concepts compared to the others.</li>

"We are saving at least 1 hour every day in support time. What used to take our users 10+ hours fighting the system now gets done in minutes. Our users are creating more content than ever thanks to TinyMCE."

Thomas Wong|Product Manager, 360Factor Consulting/Oasis

"I've worked with lots of different editors, but TinyMCE was the simplest to implement. The amount of functionality you get right out of the box would be foolhardy to try and recreate. TinyMCE solves lots of problems, and it's been trusted by the industry for longer than anything else that I know of."

Tim Craver|Development Manager, Allied Solutions

"One of my favorite things about Tiny is that they respond wicked fast. And I promise you, we're not spending a million dollars a year to get that level of attention. It's a thrill to feel like we're a number one client."

Justin Witz|CTO & Co-Founder, Catapult

"Because we serve the not-for-profit space, we are always very budget-conscious with everything that we do as a company. So, trying to develop a rich text editing tool in-house and maintain it was just not feasible at all."

Dan Plaskon|VP Technology, Better Impact
