Have fun with color in the studio (or virtually) when you create a masterpiece; Alter the colors to best fit your home’s decor or to best match the home of a loved one who will receive your artwork as a gift! (*There’s nothing like a handmade gift to show someone how much they mean to you) :)
It’s been proven that certain colors relate to certain moods and feelings.
Yellow for a cheerfulness; Blue to soothe and calm; Red for a dramatic touch (and so on…).
The biggest color matching system in the interior design and home trend industry is none other than ‘Pantone’.
Every year on the first days of December, The Pantone Color Institute announces the new Color of the Year. It has been said to be the best part of the year for anyone who works with color.
The Pantone Color System is the most important color matching system in the world. The system originated in 1963 to solve the problem of complicated color matching in the printing industry.
Soon after, Pantone became the easiest and simplest way to classify, communicate and match colors with the use of a color catalog in a fan format.
Every color, in every tone and tint, was given a number to classify it. Pantone literally wrote the book on color matching. For over 40 years, Pantone has been the go-to color matching system for not only the design industry but also paint, textile and plastic manufacturers.
