Week 17: Colours

Being a designer I sure have an intimate relationship with colours, and it is not an undisputed love story. In so many projects I have wrestled with the choice of colour, which tint to pick, the saturation of the colour, and then what to pair it up with! It can be so frustrating, and I rarely feel completely satisfied. So as a therapeutic way to cure this frustration, this weeks quiz has a slightly lighter approach to the subject.
