Understanding Color for Patterns

Is there a pattern you love with colors that just aren’t you? How do you decide what colors to substitute? While some color theory holds true no matter what, working with color in patterns is a bit different. Color can make the pattern bolder or more subtle, make it jump out our tone it down. In this course you will learn how to choose the right color for the effect you want. We'll cover color proportions, contrast, color blending and more. There will be numerous samples available for study. Bring in patterns and yarns you want to try, and leave with a new confidence color choices.
