Hello, Artenauta! Today we talk to you about a topic that will not only help you to achieve the desired result in your works, but also in decoration and fashion: what colors does green combine with?
The Green
It is the color of nature, growth, calm, serenity and life. Depending on the shade of green we are talking about, we can refer to a secondary or tertiary color, a mixture of different amounts of yellow and blue.
How to use Green?
Whether in our works, or in fashion and decoration, we can induce in the viewer a state of relaxation and tranquility that few other tones can achieve. In fact, historically, it has been a color widely used in the painting of walls and furniture in health and educational centers.
If we talk about color, we must necessarily refer to
The Theory of Color
and, with it, to the chromatic circle that has served us as a support and guide on so many occasions:
We find the perfect combination of any shade if we choose another shade that is adjacent (i.e., next to it on the color wheel) or complementary (located in the opposite position within the circle). In our case, we see that we can combine green with yellow, blue, red, magenta and purple.
Shades of Green
Depending on the shade of green we choose, it will combine better with some tones or with others. For example, magenta purple creates a perfect composition with lime green, as they are complementary colors to each other.
In addition to this, we can use neutral tones (white, black, gray…) with which we will always succeed, whatever the tone in question.
Another very good option that we can employ is the use of various shades of green, being able to play with brightness and saturation. ➡How to make the color green⬅.
