Some people have a natural talent for putting colours together in a flower arrangement in a pleasing way, but even they will often fall into the trap of using the same colour combinations over and over again.

These combinations are a useful guide to introduce yourself to new colour combinations which you may have never thought of that others have found to be successful. Colour combinations also evoke different emotions which can be a powerful tool if you are designing a flower arrangement for a particular occasion

Near complementary:Two colours almost opposite on the colour wheel-almost! One of the colours is immediately beside the direct opposite.	Use the colour wheel : Therefore orange/red has an opposite of blue/green, go over one and you get to blue	Polychromatic :The balanced use of many colours together.This example cames from Paris, in a large outdoor urn by the river Seine .
Split complementary Two opposite colours- replace one with those either side. You get 3 colours such as red/orange, red/violet, green	Tetradic: Four colours lying equidistant on the colour wheel~ that's every third colour from any starting point on the wheel.	Triadic: Three equidistant colours of violet, orange and green and then adds touches of red violet to break the rules
