Inventive

Colour MoodThe colour palette for Inventive consists of bright colours: yellow, raspberry pink, emerald green and kobalt blue. How-ever, much of the colour effect is defined by material and techniques. Yellow is made transparent in glass, pink becomes powdery by applying it in resin material, emerald green is used in a spray-painted gradient effect on ceramics.

> bright colours> colours defined by material use> gradients, transparancy, saturation

Therefore, the application of colour is just as important as the tone itself. New is the use of a burgundy colour in combination with the brights. And besides a lush red and an orange with a coral hint, a basic brick colour is used.
