We're still working on that self-portrait-silhouette-icon-palooza project, and one of the steps it to choose colors that really define us as people. (Or three colors we just think are purrrdy). Here's a couple color palettes that I feel fully embraces who I am as a person. (Because, you know, three colors can do that.)
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize!
This color palette, although nice on digital and printed media, was literally the colors of my bedroom in high school, (A la Haunted Mansion gift shop), featuring what I narcissistically refer to as my green (A1AF37, if you must know), and a violet that's dangerously close to that black. Not a great contender for the silhouette project, but it was a jumping off point for the rest of these.
Taken right off of literally any brand of trendy board shorts.
I really like the way blue and orange look together. (Yeah, I just complimented complimentary colors.) But as the sassy (not all that clever) text under the image, this scheme is done to death on any given beachwear for guys. (err, "dudes"). A little more tweaking with the saturations and this is could be a strong option.
To infinity, and beyond!
Sick of the Disneyland jokes yet? ME NEITHER! (Joking aside,) if done correctly, this could be a really cool color palette. And it's the only one that doesn't make use of my green.
Secondary, Secondary, PRIMARY!
(How art students play "duck, duck, goose")
Probably my favorite of the options. It's got good old' avocado-A1AF37, that nice desaturated violet, and a a little tealish blue. And none of them really cancel the other one out. I'm feeling good about it.
We'll see though!
Till next time,
