FLASH GORDON will tell you my colours clash 😃 so I don’t know if you want to take my advice but…my Mother was an art teacher in London and she would say look at it’s close neighbour in colour- so if you have grey - it is close to black with a mix of white and of course orange is close to red. yellow is a base colour on it’s own and can obviously change your orange closer to itself away from red. What was your question again? :E ~~~~~ ---

Anything will go against black as it is a neutral. ---

grey and… well almost anything will look ok - I guess it comes down on personal opinion about the color that’ll be against the grey. peace ---

should be in drawing and design… and yes they do go together…if you use a darker grey and an almost copper orange it can end up looking quite nice. ---
