The color theory itself does not bother me, it was actually fascinating seeing exactly how bad coloring can distract a person enough to get them to miss the original aim of the product or photo. I have always been pretty decent with color theory, I have to be since my career training is aimed towards character design. In any sort of design field you have to be mindful of what colors you use and in what extent otherwise you are going to confuse and distract your audience or customers from seeing the purpose of your design. Its all about balance, you have to balance the color its not about principle or about wasting money on photos for class like they are teaching us.
What bothers me about the entire lecture is being expected to understand the extensive amounts of the theory itself. Which means we are expected to understand the theory and concept all at the same time rather than just a little bit at a time. I understand that color is one of those design building blocks that could make or break a design but expecting us to understand everything all at once can get stressful. Thankfully I understand what bad coloring is and I hope I have avoided that in my poster since I decided to go with a limited chroma design.
