===Colour===

Colour animates a landscape design. It changes throughout the seasons. Flowers, fruit, leaves or bark of vegetation contribute to colour variation; in response, the designer should understand the details of the life cycle of the plants to be utilized and include plants that flower at different times of year. Colour theory dictates that warm colours (red, orange, yellow) take prominence in the view, while cool colours (green, blue, violet) recede. Colour also has an emotional impact: red - strong; orange - exuberant; yellow - positive; green - tranquil; blue - dignified; violet - sophisticated. Colour can be used in developing unity, repetition and balance in a landscape design, and to direct the eye to a focal point, if desired.
