A LESSON IN COLOR MIXING PART 5

Our lesson on color mixing today will focus on Triadic Color Harmony.

To find a Triadic Color Harmony on the color wheel, select a color, then choose two additional colors that are equally spaced apart. This concept is shown in the color wheel diagram below.


The color chart that is located below the color wheel above shows how triadic colors compliment each other.

Using the concepts of selecting color harmonies is helpful in everyday living as we choose pleasing colors to design knitting, crochet & sewing projects, designing home decor, entertaining, cooking, creating artwork and in almost every aspect of life.

The next lesson on color harmonies will show how to use  Split Complementary Colors.
See you then, Deb

    This is so handy, and just in time for me to color coordinate my home accessories as I put them in place (I just moved).
