Ask the Experts / color themes...?

  • Jwood%s's Photo
    I've been having some trouble with some buildings I'm working on, I have a question about the colors, I went for crazy zany insane fantasy colors in the first one, and the bottom 3 are old pics of a new project that is unfinished still. So, what should I do about the colors, change em keep them, tweak them?

    have an idea what you are trying to build and choose the colours sothat they fit the theme.

    he's much correct, if you ask me :D
    don't throw colours in randomly hoping they'll end up looking nice. know what you want to create and according to that you choose the colours. because in your head there should be a vision of your park and you never get visions in black&white, do you?
    that's how it works for me.

    The best color schemes if you ask me, are:

    complimentary colors
    analagous colors
    neutral colors with another colors used to exxagerate detail
    light colors with dark colors
    near complimentary colors
    warm colors
    cool colors
    AVOID
    low key
    monochromatic
    black and white(duh)

    That's about all I can think of at the moment.

    But what about for a very modernistic look, like a science facility. That's what I'm going for in the bottum 3 pics, well they're gonna be MUCH different soon, some Demolition is occuring at the moment and a new facade is being put into place. I have a drawing here I did on CAD of what it's GOING to look like. (it's black and white though).

    Use gray as a base with cool colors for detail.
