I find it really hard to choose colors for a brand! I don´t even now where to begin and how to even know which color to start with and not least how to find the best shade, tint or tone. I don´t hear Matt talk about it either. Do anyone have some tip about how to think or maybe some resource where I should look and learn about it?

Courses Plus Student 1,000 PointsNo, not much but I have read about it a little bit. And what I know, that is only how to match colors with each other, is there something out there that explains how to match colors with a company (e.g. the first color you choose before you try to match it through color theory). And is there some resources out there that explains generally about colors in a company (e.g. how many to use, how much to use each one, and so on..)?

Here is a great blog post that might help you:
smashing magazine's blog on color theory
I'm not sure, why you mean by company, but Take a read, I think this will help.

You may want to look at the Psychology of Colors for Marketing and Branding.
If you google search Psychology of Colors there will be a ton of available designs that can help you.
When coming up with colors for a brand or organization understanding how colors effect the feelings of others is important.
Wish you the best!
