The Color WheelThe colour wheel is a fundamental tool in understanding colour theory. It consists of the primary colours (red, blue, and yellow), secondary colours (green, orange, and purple), and tertiary colours. By understanding the relationships between colours on the wheel, such as complementary colours (opposite on the colour wheel) or analogous colours (adjacent on the colour wheel), you can create balance and harmony in your quilting projects. Check out the postcard that we will be sending out in your online orders this month to learn more. Creating Contrast and InterestColour theory helps quilters create visual interest and contrast within their quilts. Using complementary colours, for example, can create a vibrant and eye-catching effect. Playing with warm and cool colour schemes can also add depth and dimension to your quilts. By understanding how to balance and combine various colours, you can elevate the design of your quilts and make them visually appealing. Blending and MoodColour theory can also help set the mood and create the desired ambiance in your quilts. Colours evoke different emotions, such as tranquility with cool blues and greens or energy with bold reds and yellows. Understanding the emotions associated with different colours can help you convey specific themes or feelings in your quilting projects, adding another layer of depth and storytelling to your designs.SHOP OUR QUILTING SUPPLIES TODAYBy understanding the basics of colour theory, you can enhance your quilting projects and create visually stunning and harmonious designs.
