color harmony
The term color harmony can be found both in art and in aesthetics and describes the property of color combinations to represent an appealing and color-coordinated combination according to the mathematical principles of aesthetics. Even if the color harmony can be determined on a very scientific basis, which, for example, also results in the color circle for the compilation of individual color tones, the subjective feeling also plays a role in the color harmony of bouquets and other, artistic elements. Basically, color combinations, which are compiled according to the rules of color theory, are described by most human viewers as harmonious in terms of color, but personal preferences can nevertheless deviate from the doctrine of color harmony. It is essential for a professional florist to adhere to the valid rules of color harmony when putting together bouquets, as the bouquets offered should appeal to a large proportion of the customers. From the harmony of the colors used, however, it is not yet possible to derive the events for which the respective flower arrangement is appropriate – a bouquet of funeral floristry can have a color harmony as well as a colorful spring bouquet.
The term color sensation describes the reaction of people and other living beings to different colors. The general color perception can be divided into different aspects, which make a purely objective analysis of sensations for certain hues difficult and are in most cases culturally shaped. Throughout the history of mankind, color sensations have developed that are closely related to human nature and are felt in the same way by the vast majority of people. The shade of green, for example, dominates nature in Central Europe and is perceived as calming and natural by most people. Red often signals the color of the blood to the subconscious and is therefore understood as a warning color that in ancient times could have meant injury or the death of a fellow human being. In addition to these universal sensations, other color impressions are given more culturally, the color black and the grief associated with it in our latitudes are rated much more neutral in other parts of the world. Ultimately there is also an individual color perception of each person, which in its basic features corresponds to the natural and cultural foundations, but also has personal features. For this, one or more of a person's favorite color can be counted, which trigger a particularly positive, individual color sensation and are therefore often chosen for bouquets or other decorative elements. 
The color triad is a term used in modern color theory and deals with the combination of three different colors that, despite their different character, leave a harmonious color impression. The color triad not only plays a role in the visual arts, but also has a high priority in floristry and horticulture. In order to aesthetically design flower beds and other planting areas with different flowers or different types of the same plant, many garden enthusiasts pay attention to the prevalence of a triad. The combination of colors is easier if only two color variants are used, but this condition also limits the aesthetic freedom. With a predominant triad of colors, mixed sowing is also possible, since the growing flowers with their blossom colors are guaranteed to match. In order to find out individually with which two colors a basic color can be optimally combined, the so-called color circle is used, which is an indispensable tool in color theory. Starting from a color, a triangle is to be drawn in this, the other two corner points of the color circle show which hues can be combined with one another in the sense of a triad of colors. 
The color-non-color contrast is one of the most important contrasts in modern color theory, which plays a special role in floristry. This contrast is to be found when a bouquet is to be created with only two different colors, one color dominating the shape of the entire bouquet. To emphasize the effect of the chosen color even more, a subtle color accent is set with a non-color, in floristry this is usually white. With this addition, the main color is expressed even more, as it can assert itself even more strongly in contrast to the non-color white and a bouquet can appear even brighter or more harmonious. The color-non-color contrast is one of the main reasons why, in modern floristry, bouquets are rounded off with subtle, white accessories – this is the only way to increase the aesthetic value of the entire bouquet. Basically, the color-non-color effect works with every bright color and the colors white, black or gray as non-color, but the latter two are rarely found in floristry.

A contrast in the color or brightness can be specified between two special points of an image or other artistic object, moreover, color areas or gradients can have a more or less strong contrast. The human eye has the ability to well perceive and distinguish contrasts in brightness and color within the visible spectrum, but many optical illusions are also based on the effect of contrasts and can, for example, give the impression of non-existent colors. In the field of color theory, which is used, for example, in modern floristry, contrast also plays an important role. From experience, individual colors are perceived as particularly intense, as far as contrasting colors are in their immediate surroundings. The Florist takes advantage of this knowledge when designing bouquets and other floristic products by contrasting flowers with contrasting colors in a bouquet. All the flowers benefit from the mutual contrast and ensure that most people perceive a particularly colorful and luminous, floristic masterpiece.
