The influence of colour

Colours conjure up emotions and influence the way we feel. The colours chosen for the home, clothing or a bouquet of flowers are extremely revealing. The use of colour also depends on the season, the moment and the person. The right mix of colours can emphasise and enhance emotion. Nowhere is this more clearly demonstrated than in a bouquet of flowers. 

 

Symbolism and colour 

The emotion represented by a colour is also defined by cultural tradition. The use of flowers and colour can underline traditions. Colour symbolism and the use of flowers is specific to each country. We use colour to express our own style and individuality. 

Origin ColourExperience
ColourExperience is based on the Colourkit, a successful teaching method. The Colourkit is a combination of chromatics (colour theory) and practical application in the shape of a colour panel. The Colourkit is used all over the world by Flower Council of Holland floral designers, in workshops given to help florists improve their colour skills.
