Blog 7: Color Coordination
Color Coordination Practice Example
Get the little tutorial book listed at the bottom of this blog. It is one of the most helpful tools that you could have to navigate any website and make the most important and useful decisions that you need to make for all your color co-ordinations on FAA.
On this practice exercise, use what you have already learned in the previous chapters to practice using the Slider (i.e., to manage image and text) ... and the Color Wheel to play with border colors.
Here is the website again that you need to guide you through this dynamic process. Go to this website and follow along ... and you will see immediately why most people miss out when they go internet shopping.

C O L O R Is the Part of All Your Products That Will Make Them or Break Them.
TOOLS: Image Size (Slider) and Color-Wheel + Shade-Tint-Tone Box
I added this part for my customers to practice color strategies on: Fine Art America Products with my website at https://mitchell-watrous.pixels.com ... (and on any other websites of FAA Artists).
These steps and techniques will allow you to make many color combinations that most people never even think about.
Who knows, in addition to FAA websites, you might even be able to use these strategies on other websites.
You may already be familiar with these "quick" steps to reach the color options for a product represented on our FAA website (i.e., Click > means to "Left-click" the next action, or link, word, or phrase in the steps below):
OK, what can you do if you look at the color application on the Throw Pillow (or any other object) … and all you say is, “Yuk, I don’t like that”?
First of all, you will probably notice that your “Color Wheel + Shade-Tine-Tone Box” is gone ... because you left that function
You decide that the previous box with all the color patches were better than what you could do for yourself … but you don’t see your little display of color patches anymore either.
You click around in that BACKGROUND COLOR box … but that “Color-Wheel + Shade-Tint-Tone” box that you were recently working with … that darn thing just keeps on popping up … but that is not what you want.
I know … I’ve done this myself. But, there is a quick solution if you only know where to look.
Look just below the “Color Wheel + Shade-Tint-Tone Box” and you will see a little, teeny, tiny, link that says: “Show Basic Colors” … CLICK IT … and you will be back to the place you want to be.
By the way, if you were working with the “Color Wheel + Shade-Tint-Tone Box” … but you did not like anything you were doing … and you did not know how to get back to your previous “Color Patch” box … look down beneath the “Color Wheel/Color Box” option and you will see a little, teeny, tiny, link that says: “Show Basic Colors” … CLICK IT … and you will be back to the place you want to be.
OK … let’s say that you were still not satisfied with the “color patch” choices either. You can actually go back and forth between the “Color Patches” and the “Color Wheel + Shade-Tint-Tone Box” until you get it like you want it
You can still go right back to the “Color Wheel + Shade-Tint-Tone Box” choice again just by clicking on the link you used before: Click > “Show More Colors” and it will be back to you.
If you still are not satisfied with the colors, you can click on the “Show Basic Colors” link again … and do this until you are satisfied … because you cannot break it.
Note #1: You want to be satisfied with your color choices on any of your products … and you want to be able to manage the most important aspect of your purchase … THE COLORS YOU WANT!
If you cannot get close to a color choice you want ... because you cannot maneuver the Color-Wheel + Shade-Tint-Tone Box to find a suitable color for you ... here is the best solution below.
Click on this resource ColorHexa (link: https://www.colorhexa.com/color-names ) and scroll through 700+ colors with the Hex color codes. Then, what can you do if you find a color you like ... but it’s not just quite right yet?
Here is a suggestion and solution to solve your problem:
Additional Information for you:
Even though you might not want the largest Throw Pillow size ... I suggest that you start working with that size so that you can see all of the options you might have.
If you want a Horizontal or Vertical Throw Pillow Size (which you can choose), you will have to choose the non-square size of 20” x 14” ... because all the other sizes are square.
If you start working on a larger Throw Pillow Size like 26’ x 26” ... but later you want 14” x 14” ... you might discover that the border has disappeared when you click the smaller size. What can you do about that?
Do you have to start all over? NO. Just go to the Slider Bar on the IMAGE SIZE ... and slide it to the left until your border reappears. You should still have the same border color you already like still selected.
In the next chapter I will review many of these processes again so that learning can be reinforced.
Later on, I will take the process all the way through to actually ordering a product ... and I will use one of the most requested products on the internet as the example ... Coffee Mugs!
