Heritage Scrapbooking Pages – Color Ideas for Your Heritage Scrapbooking AlbumYour heritage scrapbooking pages beg for certain color combinations when working with family history scrapbook supplies. It is alright to go beyond the usual black and white hues, but, to keep the album integrally sound, choose colors that would have been available at the time period you are documenting. Different background colors bring out different tones and highlights in the photographs, documents, or momentos that would adorn your heritage scrapbooking pages. Try different ones until it complements the character of the photographs. • Traditional heritage colors include earthy tones such as beige, black, chestnut brown, dark blue, deep burgundy, gray, olive green, rust and tan. • Colors not normally associated with heritage scrapbooking pages, but accurate for any time period are bronze, gold, and silver. • Some additional colorful tips to consider in your heritage scrapbooking pages are re-copying traditionally black and white photographs to sepia, which may bring a softer, more pleasing look to a layout. • Muted yellows and greens can also bring a soft look to a layout. If you are looking for a more formal feeling, choose regal dark colors such as red for your background. Scrapbooking your favorite family memories only begins with understanding the nuances of color combination, but continues with important steps like planning what memories you will put down in the first place.
