A complete guide to creating harmonious color combinations
Cream glue is a versatile material that offers countless creative possibilities. One of the most important aspects of successful DIY projects is color choice. In this article, we guide you through the basic principles of color theory and give you practical tips for creating harmonious combinations.
Understanding basic color theory
Before you start mixing colors, it's important to understand some basic concepts of color theory.
KAWAHIP Tip: Start with a limited color palette (3-4 colors maximum) for your first projects. This will help you create more consistent and harmonious designs.
Classic color combinations
Here are some tried-and-tested color combinations that always work well with cream glue:
1. Monochromatic combination
Use different shades of the same color. For example, light pink, medium pink, and dark pink. This approach is easy to master and always gives an elegant result.
2. Analogous combination
Choose colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, such as blue, bluish-green, and green. These combinations are harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
3. Complementary combination
Combine colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel, such as purple and yellow. This combination creates a dynamic contrast that draws the eye.
How to mix cream glue colors
Mixing cream glue colors allows you to create unique shades to suit your project. Here's how:
Pink + White
Creates a delicate pastel pink
Blue + Yellow
Gives a fresh, spring-like green color
Red + Black
Produces an elegant burgundy red
Pro tip: Always mix small amounts of cream glue first to test the resulting color before preparing a large quantity for your project.
Choose the colors according to the project
The type of project you are undertaking can influence your choice of colours:
Phone cases
Choose colors that reflect your personality. Bright, contrasting combinations work well for a modern look.
Photo frames
Choose colors that complement the photo without overpowering it. Neutral or pastel tones are often a good choice.
Jewelry and accessories
Metallic or pearlescent colors add a touch of elegance. Consider coordinating them with your wardrobe.

- Choose a base color that you like
- Add 2-3 colors that complement it
- Include an accent color to create contrast
