Initial background research and notes; Turquoise


Throughout this mornings briefing, I have gathered some ideas that I will research into in more depth;
  • How does the colour look on different media? - Opened it up on different devices to see how the colour changes, also printed it onto colour paper and acetate to see how the colour looks different from the original colour piece of paper that was given




  • How does it look against different backgrounds? 







  • Think about physical, psychological and physiological
  • Primary, secondary and tertiary - Turquoise is a tertiary colour, it is a greenish shade of cyan, it is a mixture of pale blue and green
  • "Hue"; one colour
  • "Colour"; one or several hues
  • "Colour" plus "Hue" are often interchangeable terms
  • Intensity, saturation and brilliance are also inter exchangeable terms
  • Shades= hues+black
  • Tints= hues+white
  • Tones= hues+grey 
  • Colour is always a relationship 
  • What happens when you take colour away?
  • "When the contrasting colour is there is when it is most intense" - Itten - The vibrating boundry colour for Turquoise is an orangey shade



  • How does it look broken apart?
  • Is it warm or cool?; red=warm, blue=cold - Turquoise is a cool tone; represents sea and the sky
  • "How do YOU perceive colour" - Josef Albers. - The idea that a colour that I may find harmonious, someone else might find disturbing
