What color goes with what color? What will look good with this paper?
Age old questions, hopefully this blog will help.
Primary Colors--are the basic colors from which all other colors are made. The primary colors are blue, red and yellow.
Secondary Colors--are the three colors that are made by mixing two primary colors. The secondary colors are purple, orange and green.
Monocromatic Color--is using various shades and tints of the same color. For example, monocromatic scale of purple would be lt purple to purple to dk purple.
Complementary Colors--are the two colors that are across from each other on a color wheel. Red complements green. Blue complements orange. Yellow complements purple.
If you have a paper that is rich in color try using a cardstock that is one of the lesser used colors in the paper.
