COLOR SET




Narrowing down to a couple different color combinations. Still in the process of deciding what works and weight of the colors on each icon.

COLOR/ICONS




Some of my first color combinations. I began mixing in the light blue from the graph paper and the grey that was the pencil marks from my scrap book with other colors since they were on every page. I really didn't find inspiration in my colors  because my whole theme was about numbers so I went in the direction of making the grid stand out.

COLOR PALETTE





Color was chosen specifically from my scrap book in one inch squares. Each color was balanced with a tint and a shade. With the nine colors we were required to apply them to the icons in a meaningful way using at least two colors.
