Synopsis

Created by New York floral designers Putnam & Putnam, Flower Colour Theory explores how the colours found in nature can be combined to shape distinctive arrangements. Across 175 examples, it demonstrates a wide range of pairings and palettes, using established colour categories such as analogous, complementary and monochrome, alongside triadic, transitional and accent approaches.

Designed to be both a visual sourcebook and a working guide, it offers a structured way to think about hue and shade when building floral compositions.
