Exploring Color Theory | Helen Wall

SESSION TRACK:
Power BI

SESSION OUTLINE:
We often make color choices more arbitrarily than we realize. Microsoft MVP Helen Wall did this herself for a long time, too. However, once she learned about color theory, she started making color choices that reflected color theory and principles. This included calculating components of color theory like luminance and contrast ratios to justify color choices within a model. In this session, Helen will share what she has learned about color theory and how to apply it to our Power BI models.
