The packaging of an event is not complete
without a theme, and in this context, I’m talking about the colours you’ll be
working with. There is a great need for you to be conversant with colours. I
just cant imagine how this world will look with just black and white. If the sky
is white and ground is blach (hew!!)
There are basic colours (primary colours)
Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow.
While Green, Orange and purple are
secondary colours. They are gotten from the mixture of two primary colours.
All other colours are gooten from the
mixture of either primaryand secondry colourstoget more beautiful colours. The
shade of a particular colour is determined by adding black or white. Lighter or
darker shades. You can get pink by adding white to red. Warm colours are
Yellow, Orange and red. Cool colours are Green, Blue, and purple.
We now live in a world were different
shades of a particular colour are combined for an event check out different
shades of purple, or different shades of peach.
A theme with more than three colours is really noisy. A good theme should have
more than one colour and less than four colours (2-3 colours) I've placed some
examples and I'm sure it'll help you combine your colours well.
There are also other colour combinations like
Baby-Pink and wine
Yellow and dark orange
Fushal pink and Turquoise blue
White and Red
Combination of light and dark shades of peach
lilac and purple
Sea blue and Navy blue
Grey and Black with a touch of lemon-green
For corporate events you need cool and warm colours. It all depends on the mood of the occasion. The right mixture tells how professional you are. Be care on your colour adventure, it tells who you are.
