Color Story Application
Choosing the proper colors is an essential part of this
process. Remember, you are probably going to create a
series of these designs, frame them and hang them on
a wall, therefore color choice and keeping consistent
colors throughout the project is very important. Having a
design look great by itself is often hard enough, having it
look great with multiple pieces is even more challenging.
No matter what color story you choose, it is important
to stick to that color story whether you are stitching a
tapestry, toile design or photograph. Choose at least
twenty different threads that go together in a theme along
with corresponding fabrics. Play with different textures
and types of fabrics, making sure they all go well with
your color story. The following pages will give you further
insight on how to select colors.
