There are warm colors and cool colors. Warm colors (generally, yellow, orange, and red) will POP, while cool colors (blue, green, purples) will recede.
This is such a helpful tool to keep in mind for any type of quilt. Imagine you're making a star pattern block quilt, and you want the spokes of the star to really stand out. If you make the stars a warm color with a cool in the background, the stars will pop out while the background will visually recede. |
