when selecting a color palette.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main problems that new colorists have is being overwhelmed with how to choose colors that look complimentary, contrasting and interesting on completion.<\/p>\n<p>Color by numbers works by allocating a color to a given number on the design. \u00a0 \u00a0 Having the color choice made for you, with a color by number option, often is helpful to get to know how colors work and remove any stress associated with choosing a palette. \u00a0\u00a0 Of course, you do not need to color your numbers with the key provided, but can choose or substitute your own colors instead.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1893\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
