Inspired by professional mosaic artists’ colour‑theory discussions.

Colour is the soul of mosaic art. The right palette can turn a simple design into something unforgettable.

1. Use a 3‑Colour System

Professional mosaicists often rely on:

  • Base colour (the main tone)

  • Support colour (helps the base shine)

  • Accent colour (adds drama)

Example: Lagoon Blue + Teal + Gold = calm ocean with a spark.

2. Contrast Is Your Best Friend

High contrast = bold, modern. Low contrast = soft, blended. Choose based on the mood you want.

3. Metallics Make Everything Better

A tiny touch of gold, copper, or silver instantly elevates a piece — especially in geometric designs.

4. Test Before You Commit

Lay tiles on your board before gluing.
If the colours don’t “talk” to each other, swap them.
