Part 3 Colour
Project: Colour Relationships
Exercise 1- Colour Relationships
Aim: To find specific combinations of primary and secondary colours in their ratio values
According to colour theory, the combinations for complementary colours work best when arranged in certain ratio's. This helps to create balance between colours of a different brightness.
Red : Green = 1:1
Orange : Blue = 1:2
Yellow : Violet = 1:3
(Some of the sources I used to help better understand basic colour theory:

Red/Green
Orange/Blue (adding picture soon)
This exercise made me focus on finding both pure colours and a specific amount of each colour in the composition which could be quite challenging at times but it did help me understand why different ratio's are needed to create harmonious colour combinations. Red/Green are both equally bright colours that seemed balanced with equal amounts in the picture. Both Orange and Yellow are a lot brighter than their complementary colours so their effect on in the picture is a lot better when there is only a small amount of the bright colour compared to the darker and more muted colours.
