OUGD404: Study Task 2 - Colour Relativity

"There are no ugly colours; there are only ugly colours in combination."

After having a lecture on colour relativity we had to use the colour we chose as our worst colour in conjunction with black and another colour that thought would work well together.

The colour I considered the worst is pink, simply because in it's regular shade it appears too bright and not at all appealing. But we didn't have to stick strictly to the most common shade of the colour, instead we could choose a tone or hue of that colour that we liked using the Pantone reference guides.

Three Chosen Colours W/ RGB Values

As the shade of pink that I chose was relatively dull and the fact that we had to use black, I thought that a dark shade of another colour would work, that colour being green since it's one of my more favoured colours.

The idea behind this was that it would have to work as a children's book cover, hence why, aside from the black, I chose very soft colours since it wouldn't seem appropriate to have dark, deep colours for a child's book.
