1.5 Colour Study (2)

I returned to the chapter exercises and cut up my colour study, placing the colour squares on different coloured strips.  The yellow squares as they have a more intense hue really pop out of most of the backgrounds.  The blues and greens fade back on the green background as they are closer in both hue and tone.  The blue come forwards on both the red and orange backgrounds as these are nearer to its complementary colour.

I then placed the colour squares on a range of different pattern backgrounds, including teabag papers, textured coloured foils, silver foils, Angelina papers, highly patterned papers and coloured patterned tissue papers.  The yellow is intensified on the complementary purple, whilst the blue fades back on the same paper.  The yellow looks duller on silver foils, whereas the blue looks brighter.

On the highly patterned papers the yellow square seem to intensify the patterns which are predominantly red and comes forwards when on a cooler patterned background.  The blue is more intense on the yellow patterned backgrounds and fade back on the cooler coloured backgrounds.  With the blue square on the blue pattern it is different to assess which is on top, the centre square or surrounding background.
