Colour Theory - Pantone

We was all asked to collect 5 items of each of the following colours...

RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, ORANGE AND PURPLE

We then discussed all the different elements of colour theory and had to group all the smae colours together into a massive colour wheel.

Violet Colours

Other Colours - Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow

We began by sorting all of the different shade of violets/purples to fit them into the colour wheel. 

The full colour wheel when put together. The colours from ours ranged from very dark purples to really light violets and pinks near the other end which joined onto the reds on the right hand side. 

We had to sort all the different colours into Tints, Shades, Hues and a Primary Colour which was a violet that stood out the most. We then had to find the PANTONE colour codes for each of the colours...

"The Pantone Colour Matching System is largely a standardized colour reproduction system. By standardizing the colors, different manufacturers in different locations can all refer to the Pantone system to make sure colours match without direct contact with one another" SOURCE - WIKIPEDIA

It is important to choose the right colours to work with. It can be extremely costly if you print a different colour to that what you thought you was printing. Accidental colour variations 

PANTONE - COLOUR GUIDE

We used the pantone colour guide to decipher the individual colours on the guide and give each item an individual COLOR CODE of its own.
