  • Favorite Flower: Pick a flower that you love and use its color as the foundation of your palette.

2. Use the Color Wheel

  • Complementary Colors: These are colors opposite each other on the color wheel, like purple and yellow. They create a vibrant and striking contrast.
  • Analogous Colors: These are colors next to each other on the color wheel, like blue, green, and yellow. They provide a harmonious and cohesive look.
  • Monochromatic Scheme: Using different shades and tints of one color can create a sophisticated and elegant arrangement.
