alsoarty Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Working with colors is what I love most. Colors of the same lightness and saturation, but of different hue, are called nuances. Colors of the same hue and saturation, but of different lightness, are called tints and shades. Colors of the same hue and lightness, but of different saturation, are called tones. Your challenge today is to create a layout using Saturation. See attached image to understand a little bit more. I chose saturation of blacks for my layout…. So I got a large range of saturation, or shades, of grays into white. Once your layout is complete post it to the Weekend Challenge Gallery HERE and come back to this post with a link to your layout so we can give you some love.

Belle Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Thank you for explaining so well about the colours Andrea, but I still don't know what's the difference. My sister tried to tell me about hues. Blue and yellow undertones. I always have to ask at the wool shop, which colours match. Sorry, dunce here. Do I have to do a monochromatic layout?

A while back it was the ‘in thing’ to be color coded. It came down to the 4 seasons. So people who are Winters, wear blacks, white, and summers wear spanks, pastels etc, Fall would be browns oranges, so that’s how to learn color undertones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatlady Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 This is my page. I made my mask and blended the backgrounds to make it the colors I wanted. I blended the bird feeder into the background to get the look I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celestine Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Here is Winter Sunrise. I used the colors in the photo to make a gradient paper that was utilized in the border pieces, the sun embellishment and the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Thanks for all the good info on color, Andrea. It's a fascinating subject! I decided on green (favorite color) and Bee Creations made it relatively easy since her kit, Summer Mist, contains variations in the yellow-green saturation. The ribbon, for example, is almost completely de-saturated, and you need sunglasses for some of those leaves!
