Say Hello to Our New Free Color Scheme Kit, Including a Color Theory PDF
Introducing our new free Color Scheme Kit! We know you’re going to love this new color scheme guide, which includes a killer color theory worksheet PDF. We tried to make it so that anyone can use it, no matter what level of design experience they have.
To help you get started, we put together some tips on how to choose colors for your coloring pages or coloring books, or art in general.
What Is a Color Scheme and Why Have We Created a Kit for It?
A color scheme is a group of colors that work well together. You can use it to create moods and emotions, set the tone for your coloring pages or even just make things look pretty. This kit features three components that are essential for developing a solid color scheme:
a color scheme guide
a color theory worksheet, pdf
test pages
Why did we do it?
We created this color theory PDF because we believe that using a cohesive color palette will help you establish the essential mood you need to create to color great art.

Color Theory
The color theory PDF that comes with this kit is a helpful resource for anyone who uses colors in their creative work. It includes basic color theory information, as well as how to use and interpret the color wheel (a helpful guide for learning about color).
Color is a powerful tool for artists, graphic designers, interior decorators and fashion designers alike. However if you're just starting out or want to learn more about how different colors can work together then this PDF will provide you with all the information you need to get started!
Mood Board
A mood board is a great way to visualize your color scheme. A mood board can help you decide on a color scheme for a room and give you inspiration for new projects, like home improvement or decorating.
Mood boards are also popular in the fashion industry, where they’re used to help designers determine the overall mood and tone of their art. The designer will take pictures of clothing items that create an emotion or feeling and put them together in one place so that others can get an idea of what he/she wants to convey with his/her work.
You can use a mood board in conjunction with our color theory kit to develop the perfect color scheme for your coloring pages and digital projects.
Color Scheme Guide and Worksheet
In this section of our color scheme kit, we shine a light on the most common color schemes and the best ways to use them in your coloring pages and art projects.
To this end, we've put together a handy color theory guide that will walk you through choosing a color scheme that works for you. We’ll also be providing examples of different types of schemes, as well as some tips on how to pick colors that fit together nicely to create beautiful coloring pages and artwork.
Our Color Theory PDF Includes Color Scheme Examples
You can use this color scheme kit to create your own color scheme, or you can use one of the examples in this guide. That's right, you don’t have to be a color theorist to use the Color Scheme Kit. If you know how to mix colors and can recognize primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, then you are well on your way to creating beautiful color schemes for your home or office space.
The first thing to understand about color schemes is that there are many different types. And these types are based upon the color wheel.
What is the color wheel? A color wheel can help you learn about all the different possibilities of mixing colors. You will notice that there are two types of primary colors: warm and cool. Warm colors include reds, oranges and yellows; cool colors include blues, greens and purples. The secondary colors are made by mixing two primaries together such as yellow + blue = green; red + blue = violet; orange + yellow = brown; green + violet = grayish teal (it's actually called "teal" but this combination would never be used in real life).
Three Basic Color Schemes Using the Color Wheel
Monochromatic - A monochromatic scheme uses only one hue for all the colors in a design. The shades of each hue may vary greatly from light to dark, or they may be close variations within the same family such as tints and tones (see below). For example, blue is used as the primary color in this website’s navigation bar with slightly darker blues acting as highlights (the background color is also blue but it has no contrast).
Complementary - Complementary colors sit opposite each other on the color wheel and therefore have high contrast when placed next to each other. Because of their strong contrast, complementary schemes are very effective when used together because they bring energy into an environment and create visual interest without being too bright or jarring on your eyes like certain neon colors might be if used together without thoughtfulness behind them. They can also help make neutral background elements stand out more when placed next because they will contrast more strongly than if they were paired with another neutral such as grey or white which has less variance between its different shades than say black would have from one shade level down (darker) compared against another shade level up (lighter).
Analogous Colors: These colors sit next to each other on a 12-spoke wheel like red/purple or orange/yellow
While we only discuss three color schemes above, our color theory PDF contained in this color scheme kit includes all seven major schemes and provides a tutorial on how to create them.
Tints, Tones, and Shades Color Theory Worksheet
There are many ways to create tints, tones, and shades. In fact, there are so many that it's hard to know where to start. We'll take a look at four of the most common methods and see how they differ from one another.
One way to create them is to add white (tints), gray or black (tones) or both (shades) to a base color. For example, if you add some white paint to red paint then what you get would be red with a tint of white in it—a very pale shade of red: pink! If we take this same idea but instead mix in more white then we'll get something darker: pinkish-white! These types of combinations can produce beautiful results but they may not always work well together because sometimes there might be too much contrast between each hue used in your design which makes them hard on the eyes when trying read text on top
You can read more about how to do this in our color scheme guide and then practice on the worksheets provided!
Test Pages
Test pages are a great way to test your color scheme. They can be used to test color combinations, as well as the overall look of your site or app. If you're designing a website and want to try out different color schemes, then use one of our test pages.
Last but not least, this color scheme kit includes test pages to experiment with four or more color schemes, including developing your own hues, tints, shades, and tones for your coloring projects or art.
With this Kit, You'll Be Able to Create Your Own Unique Color Schemes that Are Right for You
A color scheme is a way of arranging colors in order to create a mood and communicate a message. Color can be used in many ways, whether it's in the form of an image, text, or video. It's important to use color schemes when coloring pages or filling in coloring books because they help you convey your mood better than just using one color alone.
To wrap up, we’re really excited about our new color scheme kit. We hope you’re as excited to try it out for yourself as well! If you have any questions about how it works or just want to chat with us about colors in general, feel free to reach out anytime.
