{C} is for COLOUR!!!

Colour Theory is quite an indepth subject and it is only skimmed lightly here to give you a general idea of how you can inject certain colours into your crafts to create certain moods. Each colour carries with it a feeling, a mood, an emotion and can have a huge impact on your scrapbooking page, card or wherever you use colour.

{RED}


Red is associated with: Love, passion, desire, power, physical activity, determination, danger, energy, fire.

Red is the most emotionally intense and extroverted colour. Red is versatile and great as an accent color.

{ORANGE}


Orange is associated with: Sunshine, citrus, energy, health, playfulness, happiness, harvest, prosperity.

Orange is a hot colour but softer and not as aggressive as red. Can be a bit too much though in its purest form and is best balanced with cooler colours or different shades.

{YELLOW}


Yellow is associated with: Sunshine, light, warmth, playfulness, intellect, sociable, cheerful.

Yellow is the brightest of the true colours and the most difficult colour for the eye to process. Commonly used to attract attention when paired with black.

{GREEN}


Green is associated with: Nature, renewal, growth, harmony, fertility, ecology, relaxation, money, prestige.

Green is the most restful colour to the human eye and the most predominant colour on the planet. As green is not an overwhelming colour it works with every hue.

{BLUE}


Blue is associated with sky, water, heaven, tranquility, serenity, trust, loyalty, confidence, stability, wisdom, power, cleanliness.

Blue is a reassuring, serene, and calm colour. Dark hues are often used to denote authority, such as police uniforms, whilst the lighter hues suggest cleanliness and calm. Timeless and classic, blue can be used in large amounts without feeling overwhelming.

{PURPLE}


Purple is associated with: Regal, mysterious, bohemian, spiritual, luxurious, sophisticated, dignified, creative, magical.

Purple is a very rare colour in nature, but is a very popular choice. Becuase of its richness and depth, purple can overwhelm in large amounts.
