How to make color theory work for you

Share:

Many people experience physical and emotional reactions to color on a variety of objects and surfaces--including beads. Fashion designers, jewelry-makers and other artists use color in specific ways to invoke certain feelings and meanings, especially during the holiday season. Autumn, for example, is often associated with warm colors like reds and oranges, while blue, white and silver often symbolize Hanukkah. We've compiled design resources for you to utilize color theory and maximize your creative potential.
