Principles of color combination in a package of gifts

It is also important that the colors of paper, ribbons, bows and other accessories, packaging harmony with each other. The easiest option - to do all monotonous. However, in this case, the packing will look more "fresh." If you decide to stick to low-key uniform, pick up the ribbon and bows of the same color, but lighter or darker shade.

So, in short the basic colors:

White. It's simple: it is compatible with all colors. However, it is better not to use white as the foreground color. This makes packing a cold like an icicle. Use white ribbons and bows as a contrast to complement the package.

Yellow. most sunny, warm and light color. The abundance of yellow chicken makes packing a bit frivolous, playful tone. Packing yellow without the addition of other colors look unattractive and cheap. Yellow blends with blue, purple, green and brown.

Orange. If the yellow encourages quiet joy, the orange is rough delight. The main thing is not to overdo it with originality and unusual: a surplus can easily lead to bad taste. Orange blends well with the bright red, blue, purple, green and brown.

Red. The color of love, ardor and determination. Not suitable for packing a great gift, because the abundance of red can cause irritation. Combined with white, yellow, pink, gray, gold and silver colors. Sometimes in one package, you can combine several different shades of red.

Pink. Gift packed in this gentle color, sentimental and touching. It goes well with purple, burgundy, sometimes with white. A typical "feminine" color, and most pertinent for present near the woman.

Green. neutral color. The dark, rich green looks solid and rich, delicate, light shades give the impression of something fragile and delicate. Dark-green combined with gold, yellow, orange, white and ocher. Light green - with yellow, gray, brown. Harmonious and can be completed and the composition, which uses only the green color and its shades.

Blue. There are light blue (cyan) and dark blue. It is believed that the blue color is very well suited for packing gifts for men. Dark blue combined with gold, silver, white, yellow, blue, light blue - with silver, white, pink, soft shades of yellow, dark blue.

Violet. Mysterious, fantastic color. Many people are afraid of this color, do not like it, so use it to carefully.Purple color goes well with silver, white, yellow, orange, pink.

Brown and black. Rarely used in the packaging of gifts, because they do not give it a festive look. Although, for example, for a strict business gift, they should be fine. To dilute the gloom, add gold or silver ribbon or satin ribbon to match.

Gold, silver, steel color. In the first place, it is advisable to use them as elements of the package (ribbon, bows, small accessories). Gold goes well with "warm" colors, silver and steel - with "cold", all of them - white and black. However, be careful with the monochrome range, it can look very cold or gloomy.

Separately, it must be said about the combination of three or more colors, such as colored wrapping paper.The right thing (but not unique) solution - a ribbon and bow of a color that is present in the paper, but not dominant.

Package does not exist by itself. Aerobatics - this is not a simple combination of color bow and paper, and harmony and gift packaging. How to be here? There are several ways to solve this problem.

Color is also an occasion for a gift. Some festivals have their own, if I may say so, "painting." A combination of green, red and gold or red and white reminiscent of the New Year, pink or bright red - Valentine's Day, yellow chicken - Easter, pale blue, white and beige - the wedding ... Use these tips.

Color itself a gift. Packing necessarily be combined with the very present. If you think that you can not feel this harmony, try to pack as much as possible neutral and concise, possibly transparent.

The color and the gift recipient. According to this principle colors can be divided into "male", "Female", "children" or neutral. Men's gift should not be packed in a soft pink with a white speck paper, and the lady to present a dark blue box with the same bow. Of course, much better than doing the opposite.

Should rather speak of "male" and "female" shades of colors than the colors. "Men's" colors traditionally cool: blue, ice green, gray, maroon, steel and other "female" - rather warm: red, pink, orange, yellow, green, etc. Of course, when choosing colors is very important character and status bestowed .

To gift a child can also pick up a variety of packaging: color, featuring beads, zverushek, cartoon characters, etc.
