Eighth Post - Concept Boards and specifications

The two walls will be painted in 'Lime Twist' this is a tertiary hue of yellow-green which will bring
light and work well with any chosen artwork (please see examples of 80's colours above).  The walls containing the roller doors and the entrance to the Courtyard will be painted in 'Sublime Yellow' this is a primary colour with added white - this works very well with the yellow-green hue and gives an overall feeling of sunshine and brightness.

As the whole area has no natural light the wall colours will help to make the area look bigger and the large pendant lights are in keeping with the 80's feel.  I would place the larger ones hanging from the exposed raw timber beams with the smaller ones hanging lower on chains over the possible seating areas.  I have given an example of a wall light above (iDuel Lighting) which can be programmed to change colour, this would be a subtle way of adding light to make the area feel lively, fun and vibrant.

The paint colours choosen are light enough not to over-shadow any fire warning signs.

Seventh Post - Exploration of Colour

This colour wheel (known as a Brewster/Prang colour wheel) has been produced with coloured pencils, using primary colours of Red, Yellow and Blue.  The wheel organises the colour pigments into primary, secondary and tertiary hues.   The secondary hues are orange, green and violet, the tertiary hues are red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet and red.

These colours are all tertiary hues, the first being red-violet, the second violet and the third blue-violet.  Red was added to blue and then white until the tone was the right hue.

Yellow and Blue are the primary colours here.  I added blue to yellow to obtain the tertiary yellow-green and white to blue until it was the correct hue.

In this example Yellow, Red and Blue are the primary colours used to give theses tertiary hues of yellow-green and yellow-orange.

The below images demonstrate the effects of different lighting on the colour selections.

The image below is taken in bright sunlight which has high levels of illumination making the colours seem less saturated, or lighter.

The same image has been photographed (below) in subdued lighting, lowering the illumination has darkened the colours values and neutralised their hues.
