The Language of COLOR
(inspired by a recent article in Memory Makers magazine)

Color sends a message, whether subtle or bold... they have a language all
of their own. Let your creations speak volumes and make a first impression
that is worth remembering by choosing ONE dominant color in your layout.



Add RED to your layout when you want:

• increased enthusiasm and interest
  
• to show energy, power, or confidence
  
• the feel of action, speed, danger or agression
  
• to show love, beauty or courage

Add ORANGE to your layout when you want:

• to have a feeling of fun and joy
  
• to show optimism, creativity or energy
  
• to draw attention to a certain area
  
• a warm, spicy, exotic feeling

Add BLACK to your layout when you want:

• a feeling of power or strength
  
• to show fear, mystery or a bad experience
  
• an elegant or formal look
  
• to anchor an area of a page visually

Add YELLOW to your layout when you want:

• a feeling of happiness or hope
  
• to showcase intellect or wisdom
  
• high visibility of a page element
  
• a fresh, perky, energetic page

Add PINK to your layout when you want:

• relaxation
  
• calm feelings
  
• to neutralize disorder
  
• acceptance, contentment

Add BLUE to your layout when you want:

• a feeling of tranquility or calmness
  
• a sense of knowledge or understanding
  
• to show sadness or healing
  
• a feeling of coolness or refreshment

Add PURPLE to your layout when you want:

• to show a sense of imagination
  
• a sense of nostalgia or delicacy
  
• a feeling of frustration or disappointment
  
• a touch of mystery

Add WHITE to your layout when you want:

• a look of innocence or perfection
  
• to show a new beginning
  
• a feeling of simplicity or purity
  
• to show cleanliness or truth
  
• wholeness

Add BROWN to your layout when you want:

• a sense of order and convention
  
• a down-to-earth feeling
  
• a feeling of comfort or honesty
  
• to show stability, dependability or calmness

Add GREEN to your layout when you want:

• a sense of peace, harmony, and balance
  
• to show a feeling of growth, fertility or stability
  
• to show inexperience
  
• a fresh and natural look
