Knowing color theory and how to use different combinations of colors can really help when coloring, designing and artwork. Picking out colors before starting a project is one of the most important things I do when doing any kind of project. For example our house colors are green, blue, white, black and natural wood. The natural wood brings some warmth to the cool colors of blue and green. When I color a page the most important thing I can do is to pick the colors for the page before hand. I like only using 2-4 colors. If using more than this the page can look disjointed, unless I am doing a rainbow page.\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDifferent colors can also be used to emphasize different seasons in the home and with art. Try experimenting with some of the color combos above and find favorites.
