This is a project that I completed for my Color Theory class. We were instructed to create two color wheels, one with all of our favorite colors and one with our least favorite colors, or an "anti color wheel!"
Favorites Color Wheel
Not to be basic, but blue is my favorite color, it takes up nearly half of my color wheel. I favor cool colors over warm colors, there are only 4 true warm colors on my color wheel. I love a lot of colors! I lean towards colors with light saturation, but I also like super bright colors and deep darker tones! The outside ring are my favorites but I also really love the smaller rings too.
Favorites Color Wheel: Harmonies and organization
- outer ring are my favorites, not as saturated
- middle ring are my second favorites, they are brighter and have a higher chroma
- center ring are my third favorites, colors that have more of a tone to them, deeper colors
Anti Color Wheel
This was difficult for me! I like a lot of colors and I tend to appreciate that every color has a situation where it can be used beautifully. A lot of these colors I don’t “hate” they wouldn’t be my first choices, but they are still usable colors. I also used colors that reminded me of ways that I feel, in this case, bad feelings.
Anti Color Wheel: Harmonies and organization
- One side is extremely bright and the other is extremely bland.
- Some colors to point out:
- Papyrus, named after the font I hate.
- Black? This is a dark navy, I always hate trying to figure out if a piece of clothing is
black or navy.
