A good colour scheme that fits the genre and image of the artist is key for both digipaks and magazine ads, which is why I want to ensure I use the perfect colour scheme on my products. I wasn't really sure where to start when it came to thinking up a colour scheme for my products because when I looked at existing products, I didn't really find any 'set in stone' colours used for different genres, as each artist appeared to have their own unique style when it came to digipaks, etc. especially indie artists/bands. Due to this I took to Google and searched for 'colour scheme creator' and the second site down was 'color.adobe.com'. This site was so useful because not only did it provide a colour wheel, but also had colour rules to choose from, e.g. monochromatic, complementary, shades, etc. which meant that you could create lots of different styles and effects. I started off by doing this and then found that you could upload images on the site and it would create a colour scheme from the image. I decided to upload some of the moodboards I have created and see what the outcomes were from this. I have put screenshots of the different images and colour schemes below, and I really like the colour schemes that have been suggested. Each one seems to be slightly similar to the others, with different variations of pinks, yellows, blues and reds being the main colours on all of them. However, these colour schemes do contain 5 colours and I want mine to be 3 main colours at the most, as I think the more simplistic products look the best. I will do some further experimenting with these colour schemes and get some feedback from my peers, etc. before making any final decisions.
