Colour .... exploring tone

Found Colour

Continuing colour references relating to my starting point, here collections of fabric with vibrant tones and soft texture. Colour continues to inspire me and influence development as we begin to finalise our outcomes.

Love the subtle use of colour in the following two images, from World of Interiors June 2012, 'La Vie en Rose' a graceful pink stucco villa in the old French outpost of Pondicherry, uses colour that relates to my starting point, however the use of tone in relation to such colours creates a stark contrast to my developing 'gay pride theme' .

Colour expressing Culture

Whilst searching the dutch design blog 'design:nl@ I came across imagery that expressed culture in such a vibrant manner.  The extract 'the colourless dutch' continued to highlight how colour has specific, cultural and symbolic meaning in India. It also explained how a particular season, fertility or  festival occasion can influence the use of colour in indian design hugely.

To what extent will we consider colour when developing our concept?
