Description

Colour decisions in floral work are often made by feel — which works well for experienced practitioners in familiar territory and inconsistently for everyone else. This module builds the analytical foundation that makes colour decisions more reliable: understanding what hue relationships produce harmony or tension, how tonal contrast affects how an arrangement reads at distance, and how saturation choices interact with the specific light environment a piece will be displayed in.

You’ll work with:

• Hue relationships: complementary, analogous, and triadic palettes and how each reads in a floral context
• Tonal and saturation contrast: managing value range within a palette for visual clarity and depth
• Brief-to-palette translation: converting a client’s colour language into a workable floral palette without guesswork

Duration: +/- 5 hours

Outcome: A more analytical approach to colour selection — producing palettes that are deliberately constructed rather than intuitively assembled, and more reliably suited to the brief.
