How to decide on a color palette
Sunday, September 27, 2009 at 8:10PM Not much progress to report on any front this week, I've come down with
the flu and it is taking quite a while to kick it. Funny, I'm scheduled for my
flu shot tomorrow.
Gina at ContemporaryArtQuilt.org mentions a color palette generator that I had to try out. Here is a photo of a plumeria in my back yard. It did a pretty good job of getting the major colors but it did miss the subtle colors like the terra cotta of the pot.
Have a great week (and consider getting a flu shot)!
How good is your eye for color?
Friday, May 15, 2009 at 10:39PM Have you ever seen a quilt and thought "What were they thinking? They must be color blind!". Maybe so. It is thought that .05% of women and 6% of men are color blind.
On Gina Delorenzi's blog I found a link where you can test your ability to see and distinguish between shades and tints of color. Depending upon the type of quilting or artwork that you do, this ability could be critical in achieving the results you desire.
Click on Color Test to take the test. It is easy (rearrange blocks of colors), takes only a few minutes and instantly shows you where you score . I have heard that one's ability to distinguish the subtleties of some colors diminishes with age (something about rods and cones) but was comforted that my test came back pretty good!
