The Paper Dietrich 4

“In nature, colors change with environmental factors such as light and surroundings, and nature employs many complimentary colors “(de Jong-Stout 18). Floral designers attempt to mimic nature with these colors through use of the color wheel. Complimentary colors are opposites on the color wheel (Bone) and warm colors, such as yellows, compliment cool colors such as blue (de Jong- Stout 20). Many different types of colors also exist. Pure colors cause excitement and should be used in moderation. Tints are pure colors with addition of white, tones are pure colors with the addition of gray, and shades are pure colors with the addition of black. Light also affects the brightness of colors. Dark colors absorb light and light colors reflect light (Edwards 14). Designers much choose appropriate colors to make arrangements appealing and to compose an arrangement fitting its surroundings.
