Colour combinations/selections

Primary colours:

Blue, red and yellow are the primary colours using in this image. According to the principle of colour theory, those three are the essence of colours without any additional colours. It creates a sense of simplicity towards fashion design due to the full saturation and brightness, which constitutes a high level of colour value.

Secondary colours:

The second image is to illustrate the concept of secondary colours in photography. Purple, orange and green are the colours achieved by the combination of red and yellow, red and blue, and yellow and blue. Hence, using secondary colour has increased the variation but simply with less contrast.

Tertiary colours:

The third image is an example of showing tertiary colours. As we can see, the colours have made this photo more vibrant with its fantastic combination of choices reproduced by the mixture of both primary and secondary hues. Other than this, the background is largely filled in with orange and red colours, whereas the windows are with cold colours-green and blue as though a highlight of the window frames.


Analogue colours: 

The two photos above are to demonstrate the use of analogue colours when the chosen sets of colours are the ones close to each other on the colour wheel. Examples such as light pink, rosy red, and dark red in the first photo, which mainly shows the variation of a hue either produced by the addition of black(shade), or white(tint). The second photo is another example showing this concept within the range of cold colours. Lime, grass green and blue are the typical use for gradual change in naturalness.


Complementary colours:

The last two photos carry artistic values by using only two colours to show the ultimate contrast. But in this case, the choice of two colours are the ones located opposite each other on a colour wheel. In the first photo, the use of orange and blue is as a division, separation, border or edge to its demonstrated purpose aesthetically. And the second photo is another way to show contrast as red strawberry in the glass has greatly contrasted with the green background.
