OLOR
One easy way to understand how to use COLOR is to look at nature or to look at the way another artist uses color.

Certain Color Harmonies are frequently used because they are pleasing to the eye.

The more one looks at nature and the art of others the more accustomed one becomes to seeing a wide variety of Color Harmonies. Our eyes and minds become more sophisticated and accepting of all Colors.
