OUGD404 - Colour Theory : Colour Wheel

We were asked to bring in objects of a specific colour. I was given Violet. After our session with Fred we made a colour wheel made up of our objects.

Our assigned colour was violet/purple. We had to choose a selection of violet objects and pantone match them. Doing this helped me to understand how designers ensure that the colours they use are exactly the same. I do not fully understand the pantone system but I hope to use it in the future and become confident that I could practice it in the industry.

We came up with the categories:

• Dark
• Desaturated
• Red
• Pure
• Blue
• Saturated
• Light

From the objects we brought in we identified the Darkest Violet we could.
