Colour Experiments (POINT 2)...

I need to think quite carefully when using colours for this project.
I need to make sure that characters and backgrounds do not clash and cancel out each other or, for least important components, stand out more than the page interest.

I need to take into consideration the colour wheel and how certain colours should be balanced against each other.

Colour wheels showing the spectrum, analogous, triadic and complimentary colours.

How complimentary colours should be placed to be optically balanced.

A nifty tip to remember is that any colour will go with grey as grey is optically neutral and will make any colour next to it stand out.

I managed to find a colour sample leaflet in the art shop that is supposed to be for an acrylic paint series.

Colour sampler in sketchbook.

I have stuck this in my sketchbook so it is easier for me to refer back to colours and see as to what colours appeal to me and could work in a mixing process.

The colours in the boxed red areas are the colours that appeal to me the most.
