This week we did a color scavenger hunt where we went around town and found examples of color schemes.
Here is what we found -
Triad:
This is a fantastic example of the classic triad red, yellow and blue. This particular color scheme popped up several places, as evidenced below:
Another classic triad:
Analogous:
This is an excellent example of how analogous color schemes are often found in nature. In this photo we have yellow-green, green, and blue-green. This would have been even easier to find earlier in the summer/fall, but we still managed to find these evergreens that worked just fine.
Here is another analogous example:
Alternate Analogous:
Here a fantastic example of an alternate analogous color scheme including blue, green, and yellow. Also, not when including the wall, ceiling and painting a nice classic triad is also seen in this picture. These alternate analogous were fairly easy to find.
Here is another example:
Split Compliment:
In this particular photo one of my group members is highlighting the split complement of red-orange, green, and blue on the Boulevard Brewing sign. This was a fairly difficult color scheme for us to find. However, we did find one more:
In this split compliment we have violet, orange-yellow, and yellow-green.
And that’s what we found on our color scavenger hunt!
