22. USING COLOR THOUGHTFULLY What is the mood you are trying to create? Do you want to emphasize one color? Are the colors showing contrast or are they closely related (analagous)? Does the design have a calming or peaceful effect or is it loud or lively? Do you want the design motif to stand out or do you want it to be subtle?
