Gardening with the #Colour Wheel

It is simply a matter of blending similar plant colours together to create a calm and tranquil environment or if you want your planting noticed choose opposite colours, they will be striking and in your face and for an exciting mix triangulate colours across the colour wheel.

Harmonising similar colours from any point on the colour wheel. Reds, oranges,and yellows plant beautifully together.

The colour wheel combines all the colours that blend or bleed naturally into one another in a rainbow to create a infinite circle of colour. It is used by artists, photographers, decorators, designer and gardeners alike.

Harmonise Select similar colours to create a subtle blend of colour in your container,basket or border. Tasteful borders of pinks blues, mauves and silvers would be an example

Contrast choose colours that are opposites to create real drama. Purple planted with shocking yellow or vivid orange with bright blue.

Triangulate Select 3 colours from the points of a triangle within the wheel.This is an effective way to plant what appear to be more random colours whilst having a mix that will work.

 Note you can add white/silver anywhere successfully.
