Color

This is a color study for picking colors from a photo.

note:  the color swatches didn't scan correctly.  The yellow and orange are much brighter and more yellow than they appear in this scan



First, The colors are chosen from the image.

Then, the neutral colors are subdivided into their parent colors.  In this case, the brown is broken down to red and green and the violet is broken down into blue and red.

From the original palette, it is determined that the photo uses a split complimentary color scheme.

The photo is then placed on different colored backgrounds to experiment with the message the different colors communicate.


timeless, elegant

modern, clean

playful, stylish
