Spectral Colour

The eye cannot differentiate between spectral yellow, and some combination of red and green 

RGB -  red, green, blue
CMYK - cyan, magenta, yellow, black

chromatic value = hue + tone + sauration

reduce chromatic value = desaturation

pantone is the colour codes

colour has to work systematically

During this session, we all placed the collected objects in order from dark to light. When the sequence was complete, it was clear form colour to colour how the shades and tones blend into one another. 

During this session, we got the pantones out so that we could colour match specific objects. The pantone allows us to know the exact code for that specific objects colour.
