Welcome to the February Blog Hop. Today we are featuring
"All about Color"
If you have just come from Corina Mitchell's blog you are on the right track.
I think this has to be my favorite Color Combination: Olive, Goldrush, Honey, Cocoa and Colonial White. When you work with 4 or 5 colors, you want to make sure your color is balanced with one or 2 main colors and the others are just accent colors. What I mean is make one color your main color…in this case Goldrush is my main color so I want the biggest proportion that color or about 50% that color. Next is Honey…which is about 25% that color. Next is Cocoa and Colonial White which is about 10% each and then we add in the Olive at about 5%. What you want to avoid when working with colors is having the same proportions of each of the color, or equal amounts of all the colors.
