The Colour Guide Mini Series #2: Understanding colour theory - Episode 262
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Each colour palette in the garden creates a unique atmosphere, and you don’t need intricate knowledge of the colour wheel to combine them cohesively in the garden.
In this episode of the Colour Guide Mini Series, Sarah talks us through why her colour palette system works to create stunning arrangements which work with each other, rather than against each other, and how to transition between palettes within neighbouring spaces.
In this episode, discover:
- How Sarah’s four core colour palettes each create a distinct mood in the garden
- Where each palette works best at Perch Hill, and where they might be most suited in your own space
- How to avoid a cluttered, chaotic feeling by thinking of colour palettes in ‘visual fields’
- How to use bridge plants and universal colours to link different palettes seamlessly
- Ways to work with trickier colours so that they enhance your space, rather than overwhelm it
