Day 7/100 Diad with yellow

 My colour theme for today is diad (or diadic) with yellow and green.  This theme is two colours separated by one on the colour wheel.

Days 4, 5 and 6

 100 days of colour.  6 done. 94 to go.  It's easy to do now with cold weather keeping me inside.  What happens when it is suddenly warm?  

Analogous theme with yellow/yellow orange/ yellow green

Triadic theme with yellow, red and blue. 

Tetradic theme with yellow/orange/purple/blue

Yellow: Complementary

 Yellow and purple, opposite on the colour wheel.  I don't like this combo.   At least not in this pure state, way too harsh for my eye. 


A few years ago I put together a quilt using this colour scheme, but on a softer level:


I won't dismiss using yellow and purple for now.  I don't have much purple in my stash compared to the yellows I have hoarded away.  Even my yellow bead box is filled to the brim.  I'll continue to explore yellow, but for now I'm happy with using it alone.

Yellow: Monochromatic

 I began my colour journey with yellow, as it is probably my favorite to work with.  Blue is up there pretty close, but nothing beats a nice cheerful and happy yellow.

#the100dayproject - day 1 - yellow

 And it begins... 

Yellow is a favorite of mine.  I like the bright cheeriness that glows from this beautiful color.  

Yellow symbolizes: happiness, optimism, energy, joy and creativity.  It also symbolizes cowardice, anxiety and jealousy. But, we won't go there!

Vincent VanGogh summed it up for me,  "How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun"
