PLUIE DE COULEURS
And like any other skill, it can be
learned. Here are six strategies
to make it easier. It’s pretty
straightforward: pastels with
pastels, earth tones with earth
tones, jewel tones with jewel
tones. When you’re talking
about colors, “complimentary”
actually means “opposite.” Black
and white, for instance, are
complimentary colors. That’s
why they look so great together.
You know, “opposites attract.”
That whole thing.
Every color has a complimentary
color. It’s just whatever is on
the opposite side of the color
wheel. True complimentary
colors are the same distance
from the center of the wheel,
but it can be very striking to
combine a color from the center,
like a pale yellow green, with its
complimentary color from the
outside edge, like a deep mauve.
COLOR MIXING IS NOT THE
SORT OF THING THAT ANYONE
IS BORN KNOWING HOW TO DO,
BUT THAT’S A GOOD THING. IT’S
NOT A TALENT. IT’S A SKILL.
