Portfolio Session 4. Chosing the colors

Today we chose the colors for our collection.

I will elaborate on the process in steps for easy understanding.

1. Make a list of the colors that came to your mind when deciding on the theme.
2. Make a list of the most prominent colors in the mood board
3. Use the forecasting to see if those colors exist and accordingly select 3 main colors that would be of the same shade as that in the mood board.
4. Do the same for the secondary colors too. However these colors will be the ones that are less seen on the mood board.
5. Again the colors have to match the mood board exactly.
6. After selecting the colors paint a swatch of them on a strip of paper to see if they well together if not then change the tone of a color (to match either another shade of the same color on the mood board or the forecasting).

That was easy wasn't it! the main difficulty was making the exact shade. Blending different colors to achieve the one we want. But it was good fun.

As homework we were asked to paint each of those colors on a 6"/6" chart/ivory sheet. This will go in the portfolio.

We are going to do textures next class! me excited for that!....

what have been your collection colors? what method did you use?
