Do you cringe when confronted with the dozens of color choices out there? Does the color wheel make your head spin? This workshop shows you how to cut though the confusion and make color work for you. You’ll review essential color principles and learn how to use color groups, undertones, value keys, color ratios and proportions, and more than 25 traditional color schemes. The workshop also explains how to select and test colors with the best contrast; how to identify and build historic and ethnic color schemes; and how to capture and match colors as professionals do. Information in this workshop applies to all design areas, including knitting, crochet, quilting, sewing, embroidery, wardrobe styling, and decorating.
