Spring has arrived! It’s a time of transition and new growth. It’s a time of green grass, green leaves and Cherry Blossoms. Out of all the things that remind me of spring, nothing says spring to me more than the colors of pink, green and yellow.
Color Meaning and Symbolism
Pink is a color that symbolizes love, friendship, and femininity. It can be a soft and gentle color, or it can be strong and bold. Sometimes pink can be the star of the show or a supporting cast member. It all depends on which pink hue you decide to use and the amount of pink you use in your project.
Green represents growth, harmony, and balance. A deep green hue is vibrant and represents health, strength, and renewal. To make the color combination work, select a green hue that compliments the pink hue you’ve chosen.
Yellow is a color that symbolizes happiness, energy, and optimism. Use it to add a pop of color to your project to convey a bright and sunny mood. A softer yellow hue would be a great compliment to the pink in green hues chosen for your project.
