With our objects, we experimented with what would happen to the colour when putting it on different coloured card. Would the colour stand out more, or change?
I found that with a yellow background the yellow stood out more than the green top. It also made the green top look lighter compared to it being on the blue background.
With the red scissors on a red and black background, the black reinforces the red in the scissors, whilst on the other side, the red background seems to make the red of the handles darker.
The green background makes the colour on the object look darker compared to when on the white background.
Looking at 2 different colours placed on different backgrounds really changes the way they are seen. For example, the red on green above looks more saturated than the red on red below. And the green on red above looks darker than the green on green.
We created the colour wheel by arranging our coloured objects. For example: yellow-green to green to blue-green to blue to blue-violet... etc.
After stepping back, I think the colours looked really good. Obviously it wasn't perfect, but I think we managed to get it close.

At the beginning of the session, we got into our colour groups, and were told to put our coloured objects in an order, and make our own system.
We decided to sort our greens in tones, from lightest yellow-green to absolute green to darker blue-green.
We also had the tertiary colours coming out from both ends too. We were able to do this pretty easily, as we had a large range of different tones of green.
We then had to pick out 10 of the objects, and with the pantone colour books, find the colour code for each object. This was quite time consuming, and difficult, as there are so many slight variations of colour, and finding the right one was difficult.
