Colour combination, meanings, and how to stand out with colours.

COLOUR COMBINATIONS

Sometimes it’s difficult to combine colo45urs especially for an event, where people from different backgrounds, different social status, different tribes and toungue will be gathering with their EYES WORKING WELL.

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.

Brown, Mint green ,Orange

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
