Colour

Colour is a vast subject, and is very important in flower arrangements.Colour can be used harmoniously or in contrast. Attention should also bepaid to the colour of foliage, especially if used as a buffer between two harshcolours.

Colour affects our senses, so remember that gay and striking effects can

be gained by using the warm colours, such as red, yellow, and orange whilstmore soothing and delicate effects can be obtained by using blue-pinks,mauves, blue and purple and grey foliage.

Subtle blendings of all one colour from pale to dark are also very effective,but try to remember that we are sometimes blinded by the beauty of thecolour of flowers, and, important though colour is, it cannot stand on itsown in an arrangement without good design.
