Peridot Workbook

warm
red
Red is best as an accent
because of its high energy. It
can be classy, minimal, drastic,
dangerous, and glamorous.
orange
Orange is often an energetic
color of fall, with beautiful
muted shades. It can symbolize
energy with friendliness.
yellow
This is the brightest of the
warm colors, full of life and
cheerfulness. However, it can
feel blinding if it is overdone.
cool
green
Green almost always signifies
growth, calm, and renewal.
Green is balancing because it
still is energetic, like yellow.
blue
Blue is traditional, trustworthy,
and the coolest of all the cool
colors. Blue can vary greatly
depending on its undertones.
purple
Besides the obvious connection
to royalty, purple can vary
from romantic shades to a
more traditional tone.
selected neutrals
black
Black has two sides: powerful
elegance and dark mystery. When
used appropriately it is one of the
most universally flattering colors.
white
White is a very pure color,
but can also seem devoid of
feeling. It works well paired
intentionally with accent colors.
