Color Palette Lazy Sundays

I designed a color palette titled "Lazy Sundays (in the Summer)" 🏖️ for this week’s warm-up. I included an illustration and pattern using these colors to see if they worked together.

I chose a vibrant 🌊 blue [ocean] and 🍑 fruit colors for a joyful feeling and tweaked the deep orange [Fresh Citrus] until it could compete with the blue. Then I added a neutral off-white [seashell] to give a feeling of a late sunset, when the blue has faded from the sky. Colors of a perfect ocean beach tide create a rainbow of colors to choose from for any illustration.

Definitions

mood: a temporary state of mind or feeling.

Wikipedia

Etymology: the word mood derives from the Old English mōd which denoted military courage, but could also refer to a person's humor, temper, or disposition at a particular time.

Psychology: a mood is an affective state. In contrast to emotions or feelings, moods are less specific, less intense and less likely to be provoked or instantiated by a particular stimulus or event. Moods are typically described as having either a positive or negative valence. In other words, people usually talk about being in a good mood or a bad mood. There are many different factors that influence mood, and these can lead to positive or negative effects on mood.
