color chord
The term color chord comes from color theory and is used in addition to other artistic areas in modern floristry. Similar to a chord in music, in which several tones together produce a harmonious sound, the clever combination of colors is also intended to create an appealing, visual effect in the color chord. In floristry, this is essential when putting together bouquets and bouquets, which are usually made up of different flowers and thus receive different color nuances from the flower colors. A color chord follows the principles of classic color theory, which also applies to modern painting, for example, and the harmony of the assembled plants can arise in completely different ways, just like in music. The incorporation of contrasts in order to emphasize individual elements of a bouquet can be achieved with a suitable color chord as well as the compilation of flowers with similar colors, which complement each other in their coloring. The occasion for which a bouquet of flowers is to be put together also plays a role in the color theory in floristry, since on certain occasions such as a wedding or a funeral, different basic shades should dominate in the coloring. According to the laws of color theory, this dominance of a color can be broken through in a targeted manner and an appropriate floral arrangement can be put together with a suitable color chord.
