Someone was recently asking me to speak to their group about Color Theory, confusing my background in Color Trend Forecasting. But actually what I am even more interested in sharing, is the concept of Color Intuition. You may be familiar with the concept of Color Psychology – the idea that each color has a psychological or emotional effect on us – and some also say that they have a physical effect on us too. (Look up Baker-Miller Pink, also known as Drunk Tank Pink.)

I encourage you to approach this concept from the other angle: the colors you are drawn to in your creative work, represent what you need in your life. Sometimes we are attracted to a particular palette of colors at a certain stage of our life, to soothe us, to bring focus, or to energize. Color can be healing, and inspirational.

If we live in a colorful landscape (with red rocks<\/a>, or emerald green<\/a> fields, or aqua water<\/a>) that may well inspire us in our work as well. If we live in a gray landscape, we may feel comfortable with a subdued palette<\/a>, or we may be drawn to an energetic palette of hot brights<\/a>! Trending colors like Barbie Pink<\/a> may push our buttons, as positive or negative.

The concept of Intuitive Color encourages you to trust your Inner Color Voice, and don’t second-guess yourself when you are drawn to color that you never would have used in the past. It is catching your attention for a reason! Sometimes the easiest way to embrace these color surprises is to start by using them as an accent color in your next few projects.

I encourage you to be courageous in 2024, and go on a Color Adventure<\/a>. Try something that is out of your comfort zone perhaps? Or try something that keeps catching your eye, but you’ve been afraid to consider. It is calling to you for a reason.

sharing your love for fabric…and color,
Luana and Paul
