People are visual creatures. We can\u2019t help it! We\u2019re influenced by the things we see, and color combinations have a major impact on how we perceive and react to things.<\/p>\n
Color communicates on both conscious and subconscious levels, and where language can\u2019t. The right color combinations can draw in attention, generate emotion, and ultimately leave a lasting impression.<\/strong><\/p>\n With so much on the line, choosing the right color combinations can be difficult if you have limited design experience and time. So, we\u2019ve covered the basics of choosing colors in a beginner-friendly way! You\u2019ll find color inspiration for interior design, branding, beauty, fashion, and everything in between.<\/p>\n All colors are made by mixing the primary colors red, blue, and yellow together in different quantities. It can be hard to believe at first but check out the color wheel below to see it in action.<\/p>\n By mixing two primary colors, you create a secondary color. By mixing a secondary color with a primary color, you create a tertiary color.<\/p>\n Keep this color wheel in your back pocket to reference how various colors are made.<\/p>\n Choosing colors that look good together is actually simpler than you think. Using the color wheel and the tips below, you can find color combinations that work well together every time.<\/p>\n Some of these color pairs may seem unusual, but you can use these color combinations with the confidence that they will work together.

The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n Here are some ways colors can be altered:<\/p>\n These color palette generators provide an unlimited range of color inspiration for any project. They\u2019ll help you get a better idea of the colors you like and don\u2019t like for your project, and which variations of hues resonate with you.<\/p>\n Aside from aesthetics, color schemes can be used to evoke emotions. Based on scientific research, colors and emotions are closely linked and can be used to enhance your messaging.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a quick rundown of colors and their emotional association.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve researched color trends from some of the great color trendsetters like Adobe, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, and Behr to curate the best color combinations.<\/p>\n Beneath each palette we’ve added HEX codes for every color, going from top to bottom, so you can easily copy them into your projects.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Choosing any of these color palettes will ensure your project is ahead of the color trend curve.<\/p>\n Below, we\u2019ve compiled color combinations of three colors that go together.<\/p>\n HEX Codes: #C7395F, #DED4E8, #E8BA40<\/p><\/div>\n This sweet spring color palette<\/a> is bubbly and refreshing.
