Design Principles - Colour Wheel and working with colour

Taken from Lesson on 01/11/11 making a colour wheel from coloured objects collected by CP2.







Taking the coloured objects asked to bring for the session, 5 Green, 5 Blue, 5 Yellow, 5 Violet, 5 Orange and 5 Red, they were organised into appropriate places according to their place in the colour wheel and then each individual colour was then organised by smaller groups going from darker to lighter tones OR different saturations of those colours.








As so many different shade of each colour were brought, it made it interesting but quite difficult to seperate each colour going from dark to light with the "Purest" colour as a base mark.

Then taking our assigned colour (mine being Green) we chose 10 items from all the objects to make our own swatch by changing the Chromatic values (Hue, Tint and Saturation), We used the base Green as the one we felt was most Purest green to our eyes which was Pantone colour 275-1-C


 This being the tint using Pantone colours 7487-U, 7486-U and 7478-U, We should have switch the first and second around to go in the correct order.

By showing a change in the hue going more towards a greeny yellow, Panton colours 297-1 - C, 211- and 309-3-C.

And Finally by changing the saturation, Pantone colours 278-2-C, 265-1-C, and 567-U
