It shouldn’t come as any surprise that I have an obsessive fascination with color! I often play with color tools just to see what new color combinations I can come up with. I thought I’d share some of my favorite color combinations as I create them here for you! I can’t imagine you would ‘t enjoy them, so here is the first in a series of what will definitely be more to come…
TANGY CANDY
Berry, lime, lemon, orange and tangerine…. Talk about a fresh punch of Vitamin C! Oooh, I can feel my lips puckering already!
Color combinations use sensory triggers. Certain palettes create an illusion that we can taste, see, smell or feel the actual colors. This is a tried and true method used in graphic design and advertising. I take into account these triggers when I am selecting colors for a business brand. That’s because we need to know which specific sense we wish to appeal to for optimal marketing effectiveness.
How do these colors affect your senses? Do you taste the colors in the same way I do? Or do feel them on your skin? Or maybe you smell them?
Share your comments below, I’m curious to see the different ways people are affected by this color combo!
