van Gogh’s Use of Colors
Van Gogh never used real colors. On the contrary, he used colors that could affect the audience’s emotions.
He first used dark colors such as olive green, raw sienna and raw umber. Then he added bright colors to the color palette of his paintings. Colors such as yellow, orange, red, blue and green.

Indeed, he sometimes uses complementary colors to brighten and create contrast in his painting. Sometimes, like a sunflowers painting, he limited his palette to a color that was yellow in this example.

van Gogh Complementary ColorsAs I said, Van Gogh, like other Dutch painters, initially used dark colors for his paintings.
Because he was curious about colors. He read books on color theory and became acquainted with complementary colors. He actually found that yellow and purple, blue and orange, red and green intensified each other.
So, after moving to Paris, he learned how to use colors. Gradually, light colors replaced dark colors in his paintings.
Like the Self-portrait painting that Van Gogh painted. Indeed, if you pay attention to it, the color of her hair, beard and mustache is orange and the color of her clothes is blue. This is an example of the use of complementary colors.

van Gogh Color SymbolismI want to start by painting Van Gogh Sunflowers. So, he painted this painting with almost no shadows or complementary colors, and the most used color is yellow.
Yellow is the color of the sun and is also a symbol of life, energy, happiness and hope.
How wonderful yellow is. It stands for the sun.”

Van Gogh’s painting “Shoes", in which he used a lot of brown and khaki colors. Brown is the color of earth and wood. It is, in fact, a symbol of virtue. By turning these shoes brown, Van Gogh wanted to show the hard life and humility of the shoe owner.
