Introduction to Colour Theory

Coming soon......

Here is our lovely International Colour Wheel. Basic principles of mixing primary colours into secondary. Also the addition of other hues in the spectrum, shades and tones.

This article when fully published will introduce neutralising/opposite colours, and various complementaries. We will also further explore additive colour (RGB) and subtractive (CMYK).

This is a bit of a placeholder for the time being. Any questions you would like me to answer in the process of writing this article, drop me a line @clarewaterfall

Colour Charts - papers

Here are the main colours that I have available. I use a variety of Winsor and Newton, Daler Rowney and Clairefontaine for the coloured backgrounds. There is the smooth Canford Paper and textured pastel and Etival papers.

The cuts are usually on a 160 gsm smooth ultra white or ivory card or a 140lbs watercolour paper.

I'll use these to demonstrate the colours that you customers may use to select for a papercut.
