Monochromatic colors are all the colors (tints, tones, and shades) of a single hue.
Monochromatic color schemes are derived from a single base hue, and extended using its shades, tones and tints.
As a result, the energy is more subtle and peaceful due to a lack of contrast of hue.
Do you love color? Maybe one color in particular? Do you need a creative spark?
Join me for the
“One Crayon Color Challenge”!
A lot of times I need a creative spark of some kind as inspiration to get my creativity flowing! Don’t you?
