In her current EXPLORING WITH A CAMERA series, she asked us to browse our photo library & identify our "COLOR EYE" using the color wheel shown at the top of the post. From my photo file, I've listed samples of each category and provided a simple definition:
MONOCHROMATIC
:: a single color ::
 |
| Natural History Museum ~ Oxford, England |
"ornate" detail of column
shades of yellow-orange
ANALOGOUS
:: 2-3 colors with a common color ::
 |
| Big Sur ~ Nepenthe |
"sparkly" set of stars
yellow + red-orange + orange
CHROMATIC GRADATION
:: a range of colors in a sequence ::
 |
| Portobello Market ~ London, England |
"cool" hydrangeas
blue + blue-violet + violet + red-violet + red
An observation: my "COLOR EYE" tends to focus on colors that are contrasts...
 |
| Astro-turf Car ~ London, England umm, I wonder if contrasts will be Part 2 of the Color Wheel? check back or better yet, participate in Kat's EXPLORING WITH A CAMERA exercise!! |

I love these! Such wonderful examples. Yep, part 2 will get into those contrasting colors on the wheel a bit more. It's interesting to see how you use color, isn't it? I'm so happy to have you along and linking in to Exploring with a Camera. It's so much fun to see how you take these ideas and use them! Love your colorful post.
