The color choices I normally make are usually with warm, bright, or complementary colors. I normally enjoy seeing the colors yellow, orange and red together (warm colors), because they give a sense of a warming emotion and I enjoy calm feelings. With complementary, I usually love how blue and orange look together, or yellow and purple. Overall, I normally love the color yellow, the different hues and tones. Preferably golden yellow is my favorite color. I think I choose these colors because I feel I’m personally a warm person, someone who anyone could come to, to talk about things, vent, or would want some comfort. These colors specifically remind me of summertime, and that is my favorite time of the year, feeling the warm sun on my skin and going to the beach to enjoy it.

When it comes to choosing colors for my next piece, I often find myself gravitating towards colors with low saturation but high luminosity. I often prefer warmer colors like pink and yellow over cooler colors. The reason I think I choose those colors over others in specific is because of the feelings they evoke inside me. To me, pink and yellow represent innocence, joy, playfulness and fun. They can both be inoffensive colors and both are often associated with warmth, play, and fun.
