Collection 100 - Colour

As I needed a consisted colour scheme to feature throughout my product/s, I chose a green which I believed reflected the stereotypical portrayal of aliens. C = 29, M = 0, Y = 65, K = 0.

I needed another colour which would form the backgrounds of my illustrations. As most abduction stories begin at night, I thought a dark blue would be a suitable choice. C = 68, M = 53, Y = 0, K = 63.

Using Adobe Kuler, I inputted the CMYK value to create a colour scheme I could use for the basis of my designs. I first chose the green and found different shades (variations of the base colour's hue).

I then inputted the CMYK values for green and looked at different colour schemes using Kuler's default 'rules'. The following (Triad) uses a triangle around the colour wheel for a contrasting theme and as you can see, a green which is similar to the ones from the previous outcome appears.

I also looked at a complimentary colour scheme for different backgrounds depending on the setting etc.

Using these outcome, I chose a basis colour scheme consisting of 4 colours. The blue and dark grey will form the backgrounds whereas the greens will form the ground/aliens/other objects, with the addition of various other colours, depending on the illustration. White will be prominent throughout the designs as I want to use this as the basis of the all the figures/non-alien entities.
