In last week’s “Neutralizing Colors” post I showed you how to tone down bold bright colors in papers and even elements. Today I’m going to do just the opposite. I want to share with you a quick way to add color to a grey-scale (or some other neutral color) patterned paper. Now, don’t shut this down right away.

A lot of people just don’t know what to do with it. Yet there’s so much you can do with it.
