Monochromatic color palettes are a big trend in product photography<\/a>, and they\u2019re a great option if you\u2019re a designer looking to create bright and eye-catching branding and product packaging<\/a>. Using the power of one color to evoke a particular emotion or mood, many product photographers and brands are opting for this simple-yet-bold style to attract new customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Monochromatic Color Scheme?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A monochromatic color scheme is a color palette derived from a single hue, which is then extended using shades, tones and tints. While subtle variations can be achieved through the use of different tints and shades, with the monochromatic design trend<\/a> the idea is to create an oversaturation of a particular color palette to accentuate a certain mood or message. Monochromatic color schemes support balance and unity, and support a visually cohesive design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, pink can portray a playful mood, green can evoke a feeling of freshness, while this bright yellow snap<\/a> from Canada-based product photographer Treesha Millicent is both lively and energetic \u2013 perfectly demonstrating the less-is-more appeal of monochrome photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
