Changing the Clip Art Colors Using Adobe Photoshop
These clip arts come in a classic botanical color scheme that references the original colors of the plants. However, if you want to customize a bit further, try changing the colors and add a unique vibe to your design.
Here’s how to change your color scheme by simply using Hue/Saturation in Adobe Photoshop.
Step 1: Preparation
Open your Adobe Photoshop program, create a new file, then import your clip arts into your canvas.

Step 2: Creating an Adjustment Layer
To adjust the Hue/Saturation of the layer, you can simply select the layer and hit Ctrl+U or Cmd+U. Note that this will create a permanent change to the layer’s Hue/Saturation.
If you want to change the Hue/Saturation but still want to have the option to discard your change and restore it to the original image at any time, you can do so by creating an Adjustment Layer on top of your layer.
To create an adjustment layer, click Layer > New Adjustment Layer, then choose Hue/Saturation and click OK. Make sure the adjustment layer is on top of the layer of the clip art you want to adjust. Then, right-click on the Adjustment Layer and select Clipping Mask. Repeat this step with all the clip art layers you want to adjust.

Step 3: Play with the Hue/Saturation and Lightness
After that, you’re free to play with the Hue/Saturation and Lightness of the clip art by simply double-clicking the adjustment layer.

Color Scheme Ideas and How to Achieve Them
Now that you know how to change the color of the clip arts, you may need a little inspiration on what colors to change them to. Here are some color scheme ideas to spark your creativity.
Bold Vibrant Colors
Botanical design doesn’t have to be dominated by greens. Go bold! Change the greens to something vibrant, like fuchsia, orange, or teal. Then, read this Summer Color Palettes article for even more inspiration. These vibrant colors will surely make your design stand out from the rest.

To make your clip art more colorful, follow these simple guidelines:
- Hue: Adjust the Hue slider until you achieve the color you desire.
- Saturation: Slide the Saturation slider to the right to make the color more vibrant.
- Lightness: Adjust the Lightness to make the color lighter or darker.
In addition to the Hue/Saturation feature, you can also utilize the Colorize option. This will change the nature of the Hue/Saturation control. When Colorize is checked, it removes the color from an image and overlays the image with a tint of a single hue and saturation.

Vintage Muted Colors
Muted colors refer to all colors that have low saturation. These are subtle colors that aren’t bright, or have been subdued or grayed. Just because these colors aren’t vibrant or bold, doesn’t mean the color is dull and unappealing. They have their own appeal.
By using a muted color scheme, the design will have a calm, elegant, sophisticated feel. This color scheme can also bring out an old but gold vintage feel to your design.

To adjust the color scheme for a more subtle look, follow these simple guidelines:
- Saturation: Lower the saturation to reach a subdued color. However, don’t lower it all the way down to the minimum. You risk losing all the color and creating a grayscale image instead.
- Hue: Slide the Hue slider until it changes to the color you desire.
- Lightness: Adjust the lightness to make the color brighter or darker.

Cool Elegant Monochrome
If vibrant colors, or even muted colors, are still too pop-y for you, try switching to monochrome. This color scheme will make your design look minimalistic, cool, and elegant. You can’t go wrong with this color scheme.
You can also pair this monochrome color scheme with the other color schemes mentioned above. Add a pop of vibrant color, or use a soft, pastel background underneath it.

To make your clip art monochrome, instead of using the Hue/Saturation feature, you’ll need to use the Black and White, Curve, and Invert feature.
Here’s a quick guideline for you:
- Black and White: Use this feature on the adjustment layer to convert your clip art color to black and white, while still being able to adjust how light and dark each color is.
- Curves: Adjust the curve to control the shadows and highlights.
- Invert (optional): This nifty feature will swap any color into its opposite color. Your black will be white, and vice versa.
