Q. So for my art class we have to present color in a creative way and show what it symbolizes. I think that color is symbolic to truth so I have to realate the two together in a creative way. Do you have any ideas how I can show a class the truth within color?

A. I would definitely stay neutral. And by that I mean off white. Most people don't like bright white. It really doesn't matter what color your doors or window trim is. In fact most people do have natural colored wood doors with wood trim. You'll find them at any discount store i.e. Target, Walmart, Shopko, Menard's etc. Happy decorating!

What color and pattern of socks should men wear with dress shirts and pants?
Q. I am a 30 year old professional. My dress code is usually dress pants, dress shirt and a tie on some occasions. I would like to know how to combine my clothes with my socks. Should the socks be made to match the shoe color, pants color, etc. I saw someone recently with a multicolored stripped socks with bright colors (purple, red, green, etc) and found it strange. I tend to go with just plain black, gray or brown. Any advice on color, patterns?
Asked by Dude - Sat Apr 24 11:59:09 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. First of all, no one really should see your socks. However, I would recommend getting an argyle pattern. Here is an example: This pattern is very nice looking and very versatile. I have also seen more um... flamboyant dressers match their socks to their ties. However, this is only effective if you have a brightly colored tie to begin with. Guys on TV often wear bright red ties, have a red handkerchief tucked into their coat pocket and wear red argyle socks. If that is too flamboyant get a neutral colored pair of argyle socks. They are very professional looking.

What color should I paint my new living room?
Q. I'll be moving in a few weeks into a small-ish condo, with 3 large windows on one side. The kitchen, dining area, and living area is one big room, about 20 x 20. I'll be buying some very dark leather furniture, and a dark colored dining-pub with chairs. Also, the hardwood is an auburn color, and the cabinets in the kitchen are sort of a medium-auburn color.

A. you should play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours: I think it would look really sharp to paint the fireplace "Tricorn Black" (# 6258)?

A. I understand. Here are just a few suggestions. I used to do this stuff years ago, and this might give you some ideas of how to approach decorating that you might not have thought about before. You can go to any major paint store and get sample of various shades of off-whites and creams. Take a few and see how they fit in with your decor and furniture. (Don't rely on the names of the paints or shades--different manufacturers have different names for exactly the same shade of paint ! ) Then, consider your lighting. To get the exact shade of paint that is right, you should look at the paint samples in the room you intend to paint, and with natural sunlight from windows at various times of the morning, day and afternoon.

A. Hi, If you have a brush with the whole tree on it, pick any color, put it on your canvas, create a new layer on top of your tree clip it with the layer underneath ( hold down the alt key and put the mouse between the two layers you will two circles overlapping) set the blending mode to color brush again but this time a round one pick green for the leaves and paint the leaves pick another color and paint the rest, ctrl, atl, shift E, will merge all the layers onto one on top of the others one, and you can start adding some effects style like drop shadow, bevel and emboss and so on.

A. The colors you listed could be found in a patterned pillow, and then pick one color accent to be the third color of the room as a solid pillow to go with it, and carried out here and there throughout the room. Take a look at these patterned pillows to give you a better idea: As a third accent to the golden yellow and hunter green, I'd add a burnt orange or deep red. Then you'd have a tertiary scheme.
