I’d like as many people as possible to take part in this poll.
Please take a look at this image; there are three columns of coloured spots - one for each of the RGB primary colours, blending into each of the secondary colours (in no particular order).
What I want you to tell me is, for each column, which numbered spot represents the best blend, so if you think that for the red column, spot number 2 is the most natural blend, answer R2; so answers should be given in the form RnGnBn.
If you want to explain your reasons for choosing that blend, please enclose your explanations within the [sp[FONT=Arial]oiler] and [/spoiler] tags, to avoid, as much as possible ‘persuading’ other participants.
Participants, please don’t read any spoilers until after you have posted your results.
My initial decisions were intuitively based, but I took a second look to figure out why I preferred certain colour combinations:
R: pink & red clash, while red to turqouise is jarring - red to yellow is a “smoother” transition.
G: green & purple clash, green & turquoise are too “cool” (not enough contrast), while the green to yellow is a smooth transition with a decent contrast. If the turqouise had been a true dark blue like the B column, I probably would’ve chosen that with the spring (yellowish) green colour.
B: blue on turquoise is fine, but too “blue”; blue to yellow is also alright, but doesn’t blend as well as blue to purple/pink.
I also just realised my colour preferences are 2 out of 3 a combo of primary colours which blend into a mixed colour (red & yellow w/ orange, blue & pink w/ purple), which probably had a lot to do with my selections.
