Color Theory for Jewelry Makers: Part 2

November 4, 2011 by FaveCrafts

This guest post was written by Corissa McClay for MakerCraft.

As we move into fall things are getting rainy and dark, and people start adding color to their outfits to fight back the weather-change blahs. That makes it the perfect time for the second post in our Fashionable Color Theory series!

Review

Last time we went over the color wheel and monochromatic and analogous color schemes (Go here if you missed it).

They’re fairly simple color palettes, and great for accenting and spicing up an already colorful summer outfit.  But the fall makes us (me particularly) ready for something a bit more complex, or eye-catching. So this time we’ll be diving into a couple more color schemes suited to fall.

Complementary

A complementary color scheme is made up of two colors directly across from each other on the color wheel. One of those is what makes the fall so lovely:

Complementary color schemes are great, because there’s so many ways to use them, and they’re so easy to recognize. They really pop, because the two play off of each other making each seem brighter and more bold. That makes them the perfect antidote to a rainy autumn.

You can use them a couple different ways too. For something subtle you can pair a single color piece of jewelry with clothes that complement it. You can also go bolder and use the complements in a single piece.

Triadic

The triad color scheme is exactly what it sounds like: Three colors. The trick though is picking the right colors. In this case it’s three colors that are equidistant on the color wheel, like so:

 

The triad creates a vibrant design. A word to the wise though; Pick one color to be dominant. If you try to balance all three colors equally the design can become confusing and difficult to follow. Balance it right, with one dominant and two accents and you’ll have a harmonious design to brighten your day.

Once again, pairing this with clothes is easier than it might seem. You have three colors to pick from. To make your jewelry a bit more subtle you should match you clothing colors to the dominant color of the piece. That will make it blend in a bit more, and let the accent colors be your main contrast. Flip that approach, with one accent matching your clothing, and you’ll have a design that springs out and takes center stage.

That’s the basics of complementary and triadic color schemes. Take some time and play with them, and see what you come up with. In the next post of this series we’ll talk about black and white, and how to use them with other colors, and by themselves.

Color Theory for Jewelry Makers

October 31, 2011 by FaveCrafts

This guest post was written by Corissa McClay for MakerCraft.

Color in jewelry is crucial, but when you have too many options, sometimes it’s hard to use. Which colors go together? How can you get contrast without the colors clashing? Where’s the line between colorful harmony and an assault on your eyes? I know a thing or two about color theory for jewelry, so if you want to improve your designs, read on!

The Basics

This is the color wheel:


All those dots of color add up to a wealth of design information. From here we can tell what color necklace you should pick if you’re wearing a blue sweater, or what colors to place next to each other for extra sparkle.

But how do we get there? There’s so many ways you can combine these colors, and that doesn’t even cover all the shades (pure color mixed with black)  and tints (pure color mixed with white) in between them. It’s easy to get lost in all the options.Luckily, we have a road map, and that’s the specific ways of combining certain groups of colors. There’s a lot of them, ranging from a fairly simple monochromatic set, to split-complement or modified triads. The two I’d like to start with are monochromatic and analogous.

Monochromatic simply means that you are only using one color. However, you also have access to all the shades and tints of that color. It’s a combination that’s easy on the eyes, and easy to design.


This narrow range of color makes it very easy to use while still giving you choice. It also makes it easy to pair with an outfit or other jewelry, since there are very few competing colors.

Analogous is a grouping of colors, usually three or four, that are adjacent on the color wheel.


 

Small groups of colors that are near each other on the color wheel naturally work together. Using an analogous color scheme gives you a bit more freedom in color choice. Getting the balance right between the colors could be tricky, but when it’s done right you can get great results.

Suggestion: Pair a couple mostly cool colors (blues and darker greens) with a nearby warm color (yellow-green). The cool colors form a solid, multi-colored base, and the warm color provides just enough contrast to be interesting.

Analogous color palettes can also be applied to combinations of jewelry and clothes.Find the dominant color of your outfit on the color wheel, then count two colors over. Jewelry in that color is almost guaranteed to look great with your outfit!

This is just a taste of the options available to you. In the next post I’ll go over complementary and triad palettes. Later on we’ll also go deeper into how you can use these themes to pair outfits with jewelry. In the meantime, play with these two themes. Share your favorite combinations in comments, or send in your designs. We’ll feature some of our
favorites in later blog posts.
