The Christmas War: Red Clashes with Green - How to combine complementary colors
HOW TO WORK WITH CLASHING COLORS
There’s no escape.
Someone, somewhere, a long time ago decided the official colors of Christmas were green and red.
Now we’re stuck with it.
Red and green may be the colors of Christmas but they also clash.
So much for heavenly peace.
In today’s video, let’s talk about strategies for working with clashing color palettes.
Whether you’re coloring for Christmas or maybe your favorite football team wears blue & orange and your school colors are yellow & purple…
Sometimes you’re forced to work with colors that hate each other.
You can help clashing colors cooperate.
