Colour Way

When thinking about my colour way my first thoughts were that I wanted it to be quite simple and fit in with the neutral and duck egg coluors of the National Trust Gift Shop. However, after working with flowers and the bold bright colours they bring, I have decided to use a bit of colour in my final designs. To work out what colours I want to use I have been researching into colour trends, looking at what colours are in for 2013 spring/summer.

The colours above are the sorts of colours that are in for the Spring and Summer. Emerald being a main one in particular. When I look at this the first colours that stand out for me are the purples and red/prages, as they are very rich colours. I do also want to keep in mind that as well as using bold colours I also want some of them to be quite suttle to make sure thet fit in with the National Trust image.

I think using the orange, red  and pinks in different shades would be a good selection of colours because they will stand and appeal customers instantly.

I experimented using these ain colours by painting them together and seeing how they would work together.
