My color placement has evolved in the 3 years I've been gardening here. I had 2 areas separated by a path to plant all the stuff I already had when I moved here, so on one side I used everything "hot"- all the reds, oranges, yellows and on the other I used all the pinks, rosy lavenders, crimsons, and magentas. Then to give the whole picture some continuity, I like to add purples, blues, and white to the whole mix. Silvery and variegated foliages do a lot to add a cohesive quality and give interest between peak bloom times for me.

That of course has given rise to the need for gardens for salmons, peaches and corals, which have been under development this year.

This pic shows that transition fairly well:
