Disappearing Dots Hold your head steady and fix your eyes on the dot in the center of the picture. The colored dots will seem to disappear in a few seconds. The effect is due to retinal fatigue which occurs when the afterimage of an object cancels the stimulus of the object on the retina. The effect is most pronounced when the objects do not have well-defined edges that are detectable by small eye movements.

Research Pure Colors Pure colors are more dominant in a design than toned colors containing gray.

Warm Colors Advance Warm colors, on the right of the color wheel, are more dominant than the cool colors on the left side of the color wheel.

Dark and Light Colors Darker patches are usually more noticeable than light patches, so they can be used to define your pattern -- but remember that color warmth can step in and make the darks recede.

Neutral Colors Neutrals are very weak colors that allow other colors to move forward in a design. Quilters often use neutrals for backgrounds or in other areas of the quilt they want to be less noticeable.
