Color in a project graphic has a different meaning than in painting. Color graphics are effective in cases where the color reflects the objective characteristics of the design composition, light, object environment, etc. The color technique of painting with gouache, tempera, color applique is used and improved by many modern masters. Color graphics are used more often at the final stage of the design search performed by demonstration drawings, since the information content, completeness and accuracy of the impression of the image of the object, the environment in color have a greater impact on the unprepared viewer than the performance of the same object in the multichromic graphics. For many modern specialists, an active combination of color graphics with black and white graphics is characteristic. For these purposes, a wide range of graphic techniques is used, where a wet and dry graphic technique is combined with a collage and letraset.
