By analyzing the cultural connotations and educational value of traditional Chinese colors, we introduce Chinese traditional color content into the color composition course of film and animation majors and implement specific teaching strategies. Thus, students can understand the cultural heritage of traditional colors and the rules of color composition, and establish a design concept of "using traditional colors as the basis and modern design as the means". Enhance the practical ability to transform traditional color elements into modern design language, and be able to flexibly apply color attributes, color contrast and harmony, color psychology, and color composition in different dimensions of design. While enhancing cultural identity and innovation awareness, promote the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional Chinese color aesthetics in the contemporary design field. This study provides practical reference for the teaching of color composition in film and animation majors, which is of great significance for inheriting and promot ing excellent traditional Chinese culture.
