Color is more than just what we see…
It’s what we feel.
The colors you choose in a mosaic can bring calm…
create energy…
or tell a story without saying a single word.
And the best part?
You don’t need to be an expert to use color beautifully.
🎨 What Is a Color Wheel?
The color wheel is a simple tool that helps you understand how colors work together.
At its core, it includes:
Primary Colors
🔴 Red | 🔵 Blue | 🟡 Yellow
→ These are the foundation—everything starts here.
Secondary Colors
🟢 Green | 🟣 Purple | 🟠 Orange
→ Created by mixing primary colors.
Tertiary Colors
→ The in-between shades that add depth and interest.
Think of the color wheel as your guide—not a rulebook.
🌿 Creating Calm with Color
If your goal is a peaceful, relaxing mosaic…
Try using analogous colors
→ Colors that sit next to each other on the wheel
Examples:
• Blues + teals + greens
• Soft neutrals with hints of gold
✨ These combinations feel soothing and cohesive—perfect for your BlueWave style.
⚡ Adding Energy & Contrast
Want your piece to pop?
Try complementary colors
→ Colors opposite each other on the wheel
Examples:
• Blue + orange
• Purple + yellow
✨ These combinations create contrast and visual excitement.
