In collaboration with The Color Association of the United States, Fire Mountain Gems and Beads offers the following printable color forecast guides for jewelry-artists. Selecting colors from the color guides is a sure-fire way to create style that sells.
''The whole world, as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color. Our entire being is nourished by it. This mystic quality of color should likewise find expression in a work of art.''
- Hans Hofmann, Artist
Using the broad selection of Swarovski® crystal components and Celestial Crystal® beads, you're sure to find a match for each season! Match gemstone beads hues to similar colors found on the guide. Select your favorite color per season and mix it with lighter and darker variations of that same color. Or, pair similar hues of the same primary color for monochromatic drama. Using complementary colors is another fabulous way to get a balanced design. These colors are directly opposite each other on the color wheel. Use the Rainbow Tonal Color Selector® wheel.
