Kelsey_Colors and Shades

All of my colors were found in various magazines.

1. "How I Wish the Sky Always Looked Blue"- This reminds me of the color I used to draw the sky when I was little because it seemed like the perfect fit for a clear blue day.

2. "Olive It (I Love It)"- The picture doesn't do it justice, but this color was a very dark and rich olive. It was a dress that a model was wearing and I absolutely loved it, hence the name.

Below is my take on "Olive It (I Love It)". I used various shades of green crayons and a hint of brown to try and achieve the exact color, but I'm afraid I fell short.




3. "Ballerina Tutu Pink"- This color reminded me of my tutu I used to wear for ballet. It is that perfect light shade of pink that just reminds one of ballet slippers and dance recitals.

4. "Breakfast at Tiffany's"- This iconic color is one of my favorites and even without the logo found on it I would have guessed the brand that belongs to this color. I named one of my favorite colors after one of my favorite movies, and it just seemed appropriate.

Below is my creation of "Breakfast at Tiffany's". This turned out the best because it was easy to find a crayon that was in the same family as this color, plus I mixed the color with a white to try and make it a little softer.



5. "Don't Make Me Blush"- This color reminds me of a make-up artist's, probably for a play, attempt to show that a girl is blushing in an exaggerated way.






6. "Peach Princess"- This peach color was very feminie and elegant, which reminded me of something a princess would wear to a garden party.

Below is my example of "Peach Princess". Unfortunately it did not turn out so well. I tried using different shades of peach and pink crayons, but the colors did not blend very well.

7. "Forks, Washington"- This color reminds me of the city where the Twilight saga takes place. It is always gloomy and rainy in the movie and this color probably could have been used as a back drop to portray this.

8. "Caught in the Light Turquoise"- This was the color of a dress worn by Eva Mendes that I found in a magazine. The dress was very shiny yet retro and elegant.






9. "Sea World"- For some reason this color reminded me of Sea World. It seems like the color of the ocean in tropical areas that whales and dolphins and sea creatures would actually enjoy swimming in.

10. "I Wish You Were a Nail Polish Pink"- This color is the color I so long to have in my nail polish collection. It is the perfect hot pink!
