Colour Harmony

colourwheel-01

 

 

Learning about colour harmony from the Colour Wheel is essential for us to explore the usage of different colours. Exploring and learning about colour harmonies will be a great help for my research in all projects.

We are tasked to come out with 4 illustrations to explain 4 different colour harmonies in digital format.

Complementary

Complementary uses colours across from each other on a colour wheel.

I played with the illustration of the Red Hot Chili Peppers Logo, thus using Red as the colour of the Logo, and subsequently Green as the background.

Split-Complementary

Split-Complementary compromises of the use of one base colour, and then two colours adjacent to the complementary colour of the base. I chose Blue-Green as my base colour and thus derived with Red and Orange.

Triadic

Triadic compromises of colours even spaced out on the colour wheel. I started off with Red-Orange and derived with Yellow-Green and Blue-Purple.

Analogous

Analogous uses colours adjacent to each other on the colour wheel. I base my colour on Blue-Violet and derived with Violet and Blue.
