Blue- Green Color:
ALTHOUGH THE PERCEPTION of color and taste is a personal and subjective matter, there are basic guidelines that can help you plan the color schemes of your garden.
The theory behind color combinations, both harmonies and contrasts, can be most readily understood by visualizing a chart known as the color wheel. This is based on the colors of the spectrum and consists of the primary colors red, blue and yellow, separated by the secondary, blended colors violet, green and orange. Colors adjacent to each other on the wheel, such as yellow and orange or blue and green, are generally considered to go well together—in other words they harmonize.Because Clerk Maxwell added red, green, and blue light together, this technique is called additive. An equal addition of the three colors forms white; red and green add to form yellow; red and blue, magenta; green and blue, the blue- green colorgreen known by photographers as cyan. It is important to bear in mind that this theory holds true only for colored light; the mixture of pigments is another matter.
Mixing two primary colors in equal proportion results in the formation of the secondary colors - orange, violet, and green. When a primary color is mixed with an adjacent secondary color, a tertiary color - such as red-violet or blue- green colorgreen - is produced. Seeing colors as spokes of a wheel enables you to see how one color relates to another.
