Color...??
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?

What color should I paint my bedroom?
Q. I want something muted and calming. So any cool color with some grey in it or any neutral color would be nice. If you've painted a room in your house a color that might tickle my fancy, can you tell me the name of it and what brand you used? I'm thinking of some kind of blue or grey color. Maybe a light almond or wheat? Don't worry about bedding and curtains because I'll be working with the paint color to find something nice.

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!

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.

What color/style rug for small room with mustard colored walls and black contemporary furniture?
Q. I have a small room with mustard colored walls and black contemporary furniture. I am using this room as a closet/dressing room. My style tends towards Ikea - Swedish modern/warm contemporary. I don't have a huge budget either. I think a very light color will pop too much against the black furniture and a dark color makes the room look tiny. Also, I am trying to soften the look of the room which, along with the furniture, is very angular. Want it to look softer and more feminine, but not necessarily girly. Any ideas?

A. play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that 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 "svelte sage" (# 6164) might be a great choice for the wall color with coffee-colored countertops. You can take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website: You can get color suggestions & for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like

Q. I have been placing and live tracing my cartoon sketches in illustrator. It is super easy to color the blank areas using the paint bucket, but I can't figure out how to color the original black sketch with the colors that it touches (like part of the outline the hair color, part of the outline the skin color, part of the outline the shirt color, etc) Any suggestions?

A. You would have to break up the outline into constituent parts so you have one for hair colour, one for shirt etc. To do that you first expand your live trace, duplicate it on another layer and remove the parts that are not to be coloured, you will then need to join the paths that are left (otherwise it will fill from the two open points), then apply the colour you want and move on to the next section.

What hair color looks good on light skin?
Q. I have naturally dirty blond hair and I want to dye it blonder ... my skin is very fair, I guess sort of neutral colors, and whenever I've tried putting my hair goldy, it makes my skin look flushed and I look washed out, too pale colors can also make me look gray. but sometimes ditto for ash colors. Oh and I have blue eyes I dunno if that helps at all, and thick wavy hair. I've been thinking about Reese Witherspoon's color, too yellow maybe?

A. What about a strawberry blonde?I think that color looks really nice on fair skinned people and the warm strawberry color wont wash you out.
