I am getting ready for my crop weekend coming up. I've been doing some shopping to make sure I have everything I need.
I have homecoming photos of DSD. She is wearing a black and white dress. Her date is wearing a royal blue shirt with khaki pants. The pictures were taken at a park with a white gazebo in the background.
I am thinking of using black and white patterned paper with either lime green, yellow, or turquoise accent colors. I think I should stick to one accent color.
Opinions?

if you want more drama or pop in your page, I'd use a color that's different from the blue... so perhaps the lime green or yellow. If you want something that's a bit more 'quiet' then I'd go with the turquoise blue. More saturated colors instead of pastel tones, is my opinion.
(it's the addition of the khaki pants that's throwing me off about the whole thing, to be honest... but as long as the actual tone of the specific paper you pick coordinates with the khaki, then I think you'd be good.)

In the photos, is there a lot of blue sky or green grass?
I'd try both the lime and the turquoise to determine which color makes your eye go to the kids and not the surroundings.

I agree that you may need to see the colours together with the photos before you choose. Lime green, yellow, or turquois may each go well, but one will make the pages special. Will you be making lots of pages? Could do a different accent colour on each--or on each double page spread...

I'll add a photo. grammadee and caspad. I am thinking the yellow might be best. But I really like the idea of the turquoise.  |

Goodness they are adorable. Your dd is beautiful!
I would just use black and white with a touch of silver, whether it be embellishments, embossing or thickers. I would want to make your dd stand out.

very cute couple! after seeing the photo, I don't think I'd go with yellow- it might emphasize the flowers, not the couple in the picture. Maybe (a little bit of) the turquoise, with embellishments that use silver or rhinestones, etc. to emphasize the bling on your DD's dress.

I agree that yellow might bring the eye to those mums on the bottom right first and then his pants and shoes.
That's where I looked - and then to the white sky, the gazebo and finally from her white skirt to their faces
Those areas are all much brighter than the kids themselves. Who are so cute BTW! Love her dress.
The yellow could work if you crop out the sky/gazebo - maybe right about where that yellow foliage is? - and add yellow to the upper left corner to really frame them. That makes the yellow more of a supporting color to frame the darker subjects.

Sorry no colour advice...But have fun on your crop. When is it again and where... We go once a year to a local retreat. My mom, my sis, me, and four of our friends. It is so much fun. And the retreat is a 15 minute drive from my house. |

Pink and orange, can't go wrong.
"So how did you feel when they diagnosed you with color blindness?"
"I was stunned, it came right out of the orange!"
