10 Colour Studies
Contrast of Tone
This is yellow and green. The forest green is closer to blue than yellow and therefore i think this could be a medium contrast as the yellow is a very vibrant and the hue is closer to orange hue than the greenish yellow.
These are both very rich warm colours and are very close together on the colour wheel. The rich red is very close to the hue of the sexy pink in tone and therefore have a very low tonal contrast.
This is high tonal contrast as this is a apple green compared with the hue of the rich sexy pink. These are the exact opposite on the colour wheel. Although, the hue of the apple green hasnt been photographed very well.
These two colours are very close together on the colour wheel and therefore will not create a tonal contrast. As tones of green & blue are next to each other even though its quite a light hue of blue and a dark hue of green, it is a very low tonal contrast.
The hue of this green is a forest green and the most contrast in tone compared to red is a hue of a apple green. As this is the total opposite of red on the wheel. Although it still creates quite a high tonal contrast as it still a green but not the perfect hue of green.
The hue of the pink is in between purple and red and therefore the yellow & pink is very nearly opposites on the wheel and therefore have quite a high tonal contrast.
The hue of these colours are a vibrant pink and a navy blue. These are very close on the wheel and therefore are not very strong tonal contrast.
Although these are not total opposites red is the next colour to purple on the wheel which is the highest contrast of tone compared to yellow. Therefore this is a medium tonal contrast.
These are nearly opposites on the contrast colour chart. As the yellowish green behind is very close to yellow which is the most contrasting tone to purple.
Contrast of Saturation
As you can see from the picture above. The hue of the tube is a deep blue where as the picture below shows that this is not lighter than the bag below. Therefore the tube has become desaturated compared to the saturated background.
Again this is a blue contrast of saturation. Although the first hue of blue used is quite saturated to start with, you can see the next hue of blue looks the most bluest blue and then the next hue comes and this is then the bluest blue. This carries on going, this shows that the saturation is compared from the other hues used.
This is the contrast between pure intense colors and dull diluted or grayed colors. Dull colors appear to be duller when it is placed next to Pure intense color, and pure intense colors appear more vivid when it is next to a dull color.
This is the second study these is also the same as the yellow one as the saturated colours are closer to the grey and they look very diluted and less vibrant.
As you can see the further in the centre you get and away from the grey the stronger the hue of the green becomes and less saturated the hue becomes.
The grey brings out the low saturation of colours. And these four studies strongly strengthen this idea.
Contrast of Extension
The extension of the colours here are both too little and too much a ratio of red & green should be equal amounts and therefore both of these are not balanced and the proportion of each colour is overpowering the other.
This again is not a correct extension as the weight of the green is more heavier than the pink and therefore there needs to be more pink than green. Just over a ration of 1:1.
The extension of these colours red & green, is 1:1 ration and therefore need to be equal. The checkerboard above is a static extension but has a good equal distribution. The one below is red dots sprinkled for it to be more equal extension there would need to be more dots sprinkled around the green square.
Since Green has a lightness value of 6 and Violet of 3, Green is 2 times
as bright. So to achieve balance, Violet must expand to 2 times the
scale of green to have an equal presence. A ratio of
2 : 1
Orange has a lightness value of 8 and Blue of 4, Orange is 2 times
as bright. So to achieve balance, Orange must expand to 2 times the
scale of blue to have an equal presence. A ratio of
2 : 1
The blue seems to be the more dominant colour. If the proportions are changed
to 1/3 blue and 2/3 orange, giving the orange more opportunity to exert
itself, then the colours seem to balance. In the two samples below there is only a single figure on the ground
and the colors are reversed from one to the other. As can be seen the
smaller object still grabs the stage, with the color strengthening its
effect.
Contrast of Complimentary
Although the complimentary contrast in the lower photo is yellow & orange and therefore the contrast is very low due to them been quite close on the colour wheel.
I have used a desaturated blue to recede the blue and therefore used a red as complimentary colour to make is stand out. These aren't the direct opposite colours but they are still an acceptable range to class as a complimentary.
This is quite a high complimentary contrast. Due to been nearly opposite on the colour wheel. Therefore the complimentary is very high.
This complimentary contrast is very low as these are next to each other on the colour wheel. The tones are very close and therefore the contrast is very low.
This is a very high complimentary contrast, as these are opposite sides of the colour wheel.
This is a medium complimentary contrast, as these are not the exact opposite on the wheel but they have quite a high tonal contrast.
These are quite high complimentary contrasts. These are high tonal contrasts.
These are quite high complimentary contrasts as they are not the exact opposite on the colour wheel but they are the high tonal contrast.
Contrast of Temperature
Warm colours at the hotter end of the scale.
The blues & purple are the cooler bottom end of the scale in temperature.
These are both very cool colours but I think the purple is a warmer colour than the hue of the yellowish green. Therefore these are both similar in temperature but I think purple is slightly warmer than the green.
These are both very warm colours but I think the red is a hotter and creates a warm feel than the yellow.
These
are very high contrasting in temperature as the hue of the red is
creating a very warm temperature and the green hue been very cooling and
low temperature of the scale.
These
colours are opposite ends of the scale and they are on either side of
the temperature scale. Although I do believe they are both boarder line on the temperature side.
These
are on different sides of the scale of temperature and therefore a high
contrast in colour. They are both very different in temperature and
very sturdy in the temperature scale.
These are both very cooling colours and therefore the contrast is very low with in the temperature scale.
The contrast of this temperature is the going hot to cool, left to right.As the hue of the pink to the left has more of a reddy pink, where as the paper is more towards a purple pink which therefore is a cooler pink.
A red-violet juxtaposed to blue looks warm.
While the same red-violet juxtaposed to red looks cool. I perceive this through which colour recedes and which colour enhances to the eye.
Contrast of Hue
This is showing the contrast of hue, by showing a greater the difference of colour will make the opposite hue stand out. In this study I have used the primary colours against a yellow background to show that the blue will stand out due to this is the closest colour to its complimentary.
Even though these are all greens you can see the contrast between them all. The top one is a forest green, middle a Paris green and final the bottom is a teal green. They all are hues of green and there is an obvious distinction as you can see in the study.
On this picture it looks like the red stands out the most although its due to its shiny surface. The yellow is the most contrasting and there stands out the most.
The blue stands out compared to this white background due to the highest tonal contrast.
The most contrasting in hue is the yellow spoon due to it been the highest contrast in tone as hue and tone always work together.
Contrast of Value
This is showing the contrast between the tints of the two objects. They both have a low chromatic value and therefore are hard to distinguish between the two hues. Although, the top object has a lighter tint than the lower object as it more of a whiter yellow.
This study is going from a lighter tone in value to a higher tone value. Due to the white added into the left side and slowly getting more saturated to the right.
The closer to the centre it has a higher tonal value. The white is added into the yellow. And therefore a lower tonal contrast.
These are all gradients from a high tonal colour to a pure white. This is showing all the tones within the colours from high to low tonal value. This can also be done from colour to black.
The lowest tonal value is the pink bag on the left as this is item with the most added white within the pink. The furthers pink to the back is the highest tonal value and the most purest pink tone.
The lowest tonal value within this picture is the lilac cup and then goes up to the highest tonal value within tones to the right.
Colour Effect
The small purple rectangle on the left appears to have a red-purple
tinge when compared to the small purple rectangle on the right. They are
both the same colour as seen in the image below. This
demonstrates how three colours can be perceived as four colours.
This is observing the effects colours have on each other this is connecting so you can see its the same hue of colour. This shows that the relationship of saturations and the warmth or coolness of hues can cause differences in our perception of colour.
Here the red is very uneffective to the perception for the eye. Due to both the colours fighting for attention.
The red is more vibrant on the black background and also perceived is that the red box is bigger when then square is the same size as the one over the white.
The red is duller and more saturated compared to the square with the black background. Also perceived smaller than the red square in the black square.
The red is perceived more vibrantly against the blue background as it is a very warming colour and the blue is very cooling.
On this image the red is more vibrant than in the brown rectangle below. This is due to its temperature again. The blue has become receded because the red is a warmer colour.
The red & brown are quite close on the wheel and therefore they are both fighting for attention and therefore they both receded and the becomes less vibrant compared to the blue background.
This appears to have created a hue shift in the orange as the orange become the warmest colour to the coolest colour and therefore the appearance changes by the perception of the eye. On the left hand side the orange appears more stronger and vibrant!
This is also the same effect and the middle bar is the same colour all along but the background colour becomes more prominent compared to the opposite side of the opposite contrast in temperature.
Readability & Colour
This is quite readable due to the tonal contrast being high as they are opposite ends of the colour wheel and are complimenting colours. Also I can see some slight vibration.
This is very low readability due to red & orange been very close on the colour wheel and therefore the tonal contrast is low.
This is the same as before I think this is more readable that the opposite colours on yellow on background and purple on the type. This is due to the the lightest tonal colour is more vibrant to the eye.
These colours are both fighting for attention and therefore they are vibrating and making the readability very hard to read and making the letters vibrant around the page.
These are very close to each other on the colour wheel and therefore the tonal contrast been very low and the text therefore been harder to read and harsh on the eyes to look as the words vibrant against the background.
The readability of these colours within this image is easy to the eye this although its not the best match for the background. The type been black is normal to the eye and therefore can recognise it more.
The tonal contrast is not very high and therefore it is ok to read for maybe only a headline for bodycopy this could become very difficult to read as you eyes will lag from straining to read the words.
This is a very low readability level. This is due to the tones of both of these colours been very low and therefore they are low in tonal contrast.
This readability of this is quite low as the colours are vibrating for attention. The tonal contrast is not a large enough difference to be able to have high clarity in readability when using colour.
