lens-artists: choose a color

My eyes love the wet on wet water color blending of yellow ochre, red violet, and tea green.

Ochre, a warm and earthy color, lies between yellow and brown on the color wheel. This clay-like hue suggests natural pigments and rustic tones, with shades like yellow ochre and brownish-yellow. It’s great for adding a grounded, timeless feel to designs, perfect for evoking a natural, inviting atmosphere.

But…yellow ochre seems to reach out and touch my soul…especially during the autumn.

Red-violet is a vibrant, bold shade blending red and violet. Located between red and purple on the color wheel, it exudes energy and creativity.

Tea Green is a light pastel shade of Green. It has high lightness and low saturation and is a pastel color. Tea Green is a warm color.

Unlike other bright or deep colors, ochre combines easily with a wide range of hues. It goes very well with neutral tones such as white, beige or light grey, but can also dialogue with more intense colors such as navy blue, olive green, or even accents of burgundy red for a bolder effect.

Hum…no mention of red violet or tea green…

Thank you Ritva for this lens-artists challenge.
