Scrapbooking Color Scheme – How do I Select Color For Scrapbook Pages

<< Uncategorized  Uncategorized >>

Choosing a color scheme for my scrapbook pages is not something that I’m good at.

I’m always on the lookout for tips and ideas on choosing the suitable color themes that will make my pages stand out. Whenever  I find interesting tips, I normally blog about it. My main intention is to share what I found and also for own own reference in the future. You’ll find several posts about color schemes that I wrote previously in the related post below.

When I was browsing the internet for some color ideas for my other websites t0day, I found this useful site called color scheme designer. Basically, it gives preview of the color when you choose different schemes. I found it very useful so I thought you might be interested as well.

There is a color wheels for mono, complement, triad, tetrad, anologic and accented anologic that you can play around on the site. I’m not quite sure what most of them mean but by playing with the wheel you can see how the color changes. There’s also option for warm and cold hues, which gives you ideas of what color is considered ‘warm’ and ‘cold’ respectively. If you can’t remember -  red, orange and yellow are considered warm color and green, blue and violet are grouped under cold colors.

You can also adjust the color wheel to see the effect of the color combination.

In my opinion, this color wheel is not only useful if you’re building sites or doing some color works but can be used for ideas for the scrapbooking projects too. You can play with the color combination to see the one that is pleasing to the eyes without the need to invest in anything upfront. Once you’re comfortable with your color combo, then you can snap a photo of it or print it for your shopping list later.
