What design principle is used to accentuate the flowers and colors?

Balance
Repetition
Contrast
Emphasis

The correct answer is: Repetition

The design principle that is primarily used to accentuate the flowers and colors in floral arrangements is emphasis. Emphasis draws attention to a specific area or element within the design, making it stand out. This can be achieved through contrasting colors, unique shapes, or positioning that captures the viewer's eye. In floral design, emphasis helps to highlight specific flowers or colors, ensuring that they become the focal point of the arrangement. Effective use of emphasis can also evoke emotional responses and direct the observer’s attention where the designer intends. While repetition and contrast play vital roles in creating cohesion and visual interest, respectively, it is emphasis that specifically serves the purpose of accentuation.
