Color Wheels

Choosing a palette for An 80s Style Foldout Autograph Card is easy to do. Simply look at a color wheel for complimentary colors. Those are colors that are in groups of three on the color wheel. Start by looking at Red, Blue and Yellow on a color wheel to see where they’re located. By mixing these three basic colors all the rest of the colors in the spectrum are made. Here are a few resources for exploring complimentary palettes:

• Page 120 of the Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog
• For Beginners: https://mrprintables.com/printable-color-wheel.html
• For Intermediate: https://www.colourlovers.com
• For Advanced: https://color.adobe.com/create

What I love about Stampin’ Up is that all of their products are coordinated to match and they give a list of their coordinating colors to help the buyer choose the best accessories, paper and inks. It can be really overwhelming.
