How to Choose Your Colours
For the best colourwork results, choose two or more groups which are very different from each other - from there, there are no bad choices.
There are four main colour hues: blues, purples, greens, and reds. Choose from different hues to get the most variety and colour success (ie greens+reds, reds+blues, reds+purples, greens+purples etc).
Follow your gut when it comes to preference, but don't be afraid to try something different. They all look great together!
