Developing Colour...

The colours from the pheasant and Geddes family tartan and the very essence of country but am lacking in militant colours and seriously lacking the softness and delicacy from the inspirational imagery. It looks far too harsh, and is not generating the right emotions and feelings for my playful collection, but is looking dull, dark and monotone. There is no depth or variety of colour and is therefore lacking in drama, and the delicate colours are desperately needed for the floaty femininity.

Through Developing 2 colour stories one consisting of delicate tonals, peaches, cold and warm grays, plum purple, deep dusky pink, grubby lemons and duck egg blues will create a dramatic feminine colour palette- the decision of these colours have come from looking at inspirational imagery and evaluating why these colours work and the mood they create combined with the design is one of fragility yet power, naivety yet seduction and femininity.

Selecting colors from inspirational imagery consisting of and the delicate tonals and contrasting blue and yellow as previously discussed I then developed the colours into a series of tones through using photoshop and colour picker then developing and the colour story analysing colour groupings until the final colour story is dramatic, delicate and oozing with femininity.

The other needs to be a masculine colour palette reflecting on khaki militant wear, regimental naval golds and blue, pistachio and evergreen greens for the country pursuits, black, deep chocolate brown and primary yellow- once again these colours have come from looking at inspirational imagery and evaluating why the colours work and the mood they create.

Selecting colors from the Geddes family tartan and the basic greens, khakis and browns as previously discussed I then developed the colours into a series of tones through using photoshop and colour picker then developing and the colour story analysing colour groupings until the final colour story is dramatic, defined and punctual.
