Color Play Workshop
Members we asked to bring 6-10 5" squares to the meeting. They were then instructed to place them, where they thought they belonged, around a color wheel.
Once that was done, they were instructed to place the squares in rows according to value.
Once that was accomplished, they were asked to choose a square that was a hard color for them to use and pick two other squares that they though went well with it.
Several members volunteered to discuss their choices and accept suggestions from the membership on what colors they might add or swap out to create a more pleasing palette
More discussion continued on palettes with different themes or color choices to create specific palettes.
Complimentary palettes are created when the colors are across from each other on a color wheel such as red and green, purple and yellow or blue and orange.
Cool colors such as blue, green, and purple (violet); evoke a cool feeling because they remind us of things like water or grass.
Examples of warm colors include red, yellow and orange (think exciting fire and volcanoes). Contrast with cool colors as seen below.
Monochromatic color schemes are derived from a single base hue and extended using its shades, tones and tints.
Try this at home and discover new palettes you might not have consider using before.
