COLOR YOUR WORLD WITH MEANING
Color is a powerful tool for expressing emotions and bringing depth to your journaling. From bright hues to muted tones, explore how color can help you convey your thoughts and feelings.

Color & Journaling
Transform how you journal by using color to help you unlock the emotions you want to express. Whether you use vibrant pens or a subtle watercolor wash, color can help you communicate your thoughts in a way that words sometimes can’t.
Use color to highlight important themes in your life by choosing a specific color scheme or color palette that reflects your mood or the theme of your journal entry. You can also use color to highlight important points or to draw attention to specific words or phrases that you want to stand out.
Color Can…

Represent different aspects of your personality.
Set the tone of your journaling session.
Track your moods and emotions over time.
Add visual interest and creativity to your journaling.
Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a beginner, using things like colors and fonts in your journaling can be a fun and creative way to express yourself! Especially if you love art or bullet journaling!
Color Palettes & Themes
