Week 6: Color Pop


I took this picture driving back from Yosemite with my family. On one of my other blogs, I had another picture that demonstrated the way colors can work together in a palette- this picture is almost the exact opposite. In this picture, I love how certain colors pop because they are different than the rest of the palette. For me, the yellow trees and the intense blue of the sky depart from the darker and less vibrant colors of the surrounding area. The sunny yellow is a color that I usually don't see and abundance of in nature, so seeing so many trees with that vibrancy was a treat for me, and made me want to take this picture. It is a nice departure from the subdued colors of the area around it. In addition, the blue sky in the top color is just so blue, it also caught my eye. This picture makes me want to experiment more with popping colors out of a palette as well as mixing them together.

  1. Nice image and observations

    This shows how much we can make one color really pop depending on what surrounds it

    Or, in theatre, how much an affect 1 more saturate color can pop against a tight palette
