Beadworks Color Palettes
Color theory has the goal of predicting or specifying the color combinations that would work well together or appear harmonious. The 12 point color wheel has been adopted as the principle tool for defining these basic relationships. These color combinations are offered to help you mix and match your favorite colors. Beadworks has provided examples of Complimentary and Triadic color palettes.
