Exploring Colour Combinations

Colour is an experience. It is one that we, on this planet, are uniquely privileged to enjoy.

The world around us is an amazing kaleidoscope of colour. Picture the joyful yellow of daffodils marking the arrival of springtime, the shimmers of sunlight through the trees, rainbows in the sky and the shadows of evening seen through peach and purple sunsets.

 Reconnect with Your Senses

Becoming aware of beautiful colour combinations is the first step in your journey towards forwarding a relationship with colour. It is impossible to connect with anything if you don’t give it time, so look and absorb the wonderful colour combinations around you. Simply be in the moment and think, see and feel, reconnect with your senses. Think about what you are seeing, how do the colours connect with one another? What impact do they have on the way you feel?

You can develop awareness of the effects of colour on your physical state, moods, feelings, attitudes, interests, activities and relationships by keeping a colour diary. This will allow you to find colours that resonate with you and are comfortable for you. Once you know this you can also experiment with colours you don’t normally wear or expose yourself to.
