Red and yellow can be taken alone or together in order to:
emphasize the most beautiful parts of your garden
divert the attention from the unattractive parts
create a special mood or feeling
It will look attractive and emphatic if you choose doors in bright red color. This color will be the indicator showing that this is the way inside.

Yellow is mainly used for caution, concentration and gaiety. The appearance of the first yellow spring daffodils and forsythia are associated with warm and merry springtime. Few passersby will overcome cheerful feeling and inspiration looking at a planting of sunflowers.
Blue is known as a cool and cold color. In the garden landscape this color gives you calm and peaceful feeling. If you add silver and white it will mean purity, tidiness and precision.

You can notice deep shade of blue on autumn flowers which vanishes at the dusk and often you can see a hole where a plant grows well.
