Over the Christmas break, we were instructed by Fred Bates, individually to bring in a certain colour of object.
I was informed to bring in green items.
The purpose of this exercise baffled me until I arrived there and everyone in the class was instructed to place their objects together, ranging from Purple-Red-Blue-Yellow and Green.
After these objects were displayed in a large circle spanning the tones of colour, it created a very beautiful range of colours, which functioned like a spectrum/rainbow.
I took panoramic images on my camera to show the full scale of the colour range.
I also stood on a chair and took a photograph of the large scale photograph.
These photographs make use of HDR mode which I find brings out the colour very vibrantly.
After we were instructed to chose objects from our group's green selection with requirements in mind, the most pure colour, the darkest tone, the lightest shade etc, then we were to use the Pantone colour swatches to perfectly match the colours to each other. I learnt that there are 2 different types of Pantone swatches, one for un-coated objects, and the other for coated. Meaning Matt or Glossy.
I felt this lesson gave me a really good insight into colour theory and pantone swatches, I learnt many different terms to describe colours.
