Definitions for this<\/span> post only: I have been thinking color as a neutral. The basic question is: can a color be a neutral. Related to this question is another question: can a color act<\/span> like a neutral?<\/p>\n I have made a number of quilts that do not use a neutral as a background or main color.<\/p>\n The Punk Rock Quilt<\/a> uses hot pink\/fuchsia as the background color. In this case, my test didn’t work so well. I like the quilt, but as far as using fuchsia as a neutral, it didn’t work. I think the failure had to do with the proportion of pink to black\/white.<\/p>\n Additionally, if you use enough of a color, will the ‘rules’ of hot\/cold colors force it to not recede or not jump forward? Again, is this a proportion thing?<\/p>\n I actually think proportion may be the key. I haven’t had time to further investigate, so stay tuned. Comments are welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WARNING: If you plan to read this blog entry, you have to be prepared to think outside the box.
