Colour can add interest and emotional impact to your photographs; vibrant reds, oranges and yellows evokes energy while blues and greens are restful to our eyes.

Primary colours
The human eye is drawn to contrast in a photograph, along with its symmetry. One way of adding contrast is by using opposite primary colours of the spectrum to your images such as red against green, or yellow against blue, these contrasts in colour can hold a veiwers attention.

Isolate your subject with colour
Look for bright, vibrant colour on a neutral background, even a small amount of colour on your subject isolated from a neutral background gives real impact to a photograph.

Natural colours
Nature contains harmonious colours, just look at autumn trees, animals, and the colourful plumage of birds such as the peacock at the bottom of the page, but don’t just look at the big picture, insects such as the Dragonfly have really bold colours when seen close-up.

Pastel colours
Its not just the bright primary colours that makes an interesting photograph, muted pastel colours can add a softness and restful mood.
