I loved this exercise. When I was younger I had to have the 120 Crayola pack and dozens of coloring books. I was obsessed with colors and making everything look pretty :) So this exercise was awesome. 

This exercise also made me want to look into the Color Theory on the class blog http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/01/28/color-theory-for-designers-part-1-the-meaning-of-color/

The concept of Color Theory for Designers and how it relates to peoples emotions always intrigued me.  My favorite color is purple. According to the Color Theory purple symbolizes royalty. "It’s a combination of red and blue, and takes on some attributes of both. It’s associated with creativity and imagination, too." It also states how darker purples represent wealth and royalty while lighter purples are associated with romance.

For this project I used complementary pastels. I like how the deeper the color the darker the grey shading is. It looks appealing to the eyes. I also like that about the different blues and yellow squares. 

This has to be one of my favorite exercises.
