Add Color to Your Scrapbook
Color coordination and contrast will
highlight and accent your scrapbook. A well thought out color scheme
can help define the theme of a page, attract attention to specific
items, or detract away from mistakes. Poorly chosen color schemes,
on the other hand, can cause your scrapbook page to look gaudy or
mismatched.
Background colors can either be matched, coordinated, or contrasted
with the colors in your photographs, mementos, or embellishments.
Matching colors add to the continuity of the color scheme.
Coordinated colors add depth to scrapbook pages. Contrasted colors
focus the eye. In this way, color can be used to create the effect
you desire.
A great way to see how colors look together is to collect and
compare color wheels from your local paint or hardware store. Paint
wheels are usually available free for the taking in nearly any paint
department.
