OUGD404 | STUDIO BRIEF 1 | COLOUR THEORY

We were asked to bring in 5 objects that are a certain colour as we were playing around with colour. My colour was red. We were then told to organise them from light to dark in a line.


It was quite a difficult task. Lining the objects up in shades became quite confusing as it made you begin to question the colour at all. For example this book looks red but against the other shades it begins to look a shade of orange.


We then had to organise the colours from cold to warm which was again quite challenging as we couldn't decide if a certain shade was warm or cold.

We had to try and figure out the warmth or coldness of some of the colours by placing them on a yellow or blue shade and see which blends in better.

After this task we added everyones colours into a big circle:

Overall it was really interesting to see the ways colour can trick our eyes and alter in different scenes. When placing different yellows over the white paper it showed a different shade that what we previously thought. I also learned a lot about the temperature of shades and how to distinguish between them.
