So one of my projects is the commercial space of Rock With U, and Entertainment Company Out Of Ft. Lauderdale Fl. They specialize in doing a lot of event happenings, working with celebrities and rocking people out to wee hours in the morning. I had to ensure that was captured in the color palette & design concept.
*A good method for this: If the main color is blue and is used for 80% of the
picture, see what the next largest use of color is and so on. You can get as
many as four colors out of a picture to use as your color scheme. You will also
be able to figure out what other complimentary pieces of art you can use by
figuring this out.
This doesn't work on every piece of art or logo, se below to see how you can create a color scheme from almost ANY piece of art or logo.

This is their logo. It’s equivalent
to a piece of art, which has a myriad of awesome colors. Here I pulled all the colors
out. Then started to take out the colors
I don’t care for. I kept the colors, which not only coordinate well together but
the colors which will help to evoke to feeling & emotion of the companies image
and brand.
Below we have the end of
result of what was mentioned before. Here are the initial set of colors I
liked, then I thought to myself, what would it look like if I added a little
gold, green and black.
Here we see what it looks
like with the gold, green & black. Not bad, not amazing but a good starting
place. So how does the manifest into real life? How does this look once
translated into, fabrics, texture, metals, furniture, woods etc? {See below}
Below you will see the above
colors translated into furniture, fabrics, metals & texture. This is a
hodgepodge of what their commercial space will look like. If you are doing a
room in your home, to avoid that “matchy matchy” look. Take one of these guides
with you when you go shopping for that room. You just need to remember the
different elements in the room. They can appear as if they have nothing to do
with ne and other but when the room is complete, you will see that wow factor.
Want to see the above
color guide translated into real life? Here you go. Here a few items that have
been purchased and some work that has been done in the space thus far. You will
see the color elements coming together to create the above color elements come
together in the space.
