Colour Theory for Your Table: What Works and Why
The Power of Colour on Your Table
Colour is king (sorry beige, hit the road). Colour influences the way you feel, allows you to express yourself and also impacts how you experience things. When hosting, the right palette pulls everything together — the food, the setting, the vibe.
The Basics of Colour Theory (Without the Art School Lecture)
- Complementary colours → Opposites on the colour wheel (like pink + green). Think bold, high contrast.
- Analogous colours → Neighbours on the wheel (like blue + green + teal). They flow seamlessly.
-
Monochrome → Same colour, different shades (all pink everything). Always chic, never boring.
