Artist's Color Wheel - Start after Jan. 2012 (Yearly)

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

~ Artist's Color Wheel Challenge ~

                                    



Rules: This is all about cover colors! You may use anthologies, audiobooks, & re-reads. If you plan ahead, you can change your mind later, too. You can read the books in any order! (Except for “Read a Rainbow.”) You can use bookcovers from OTHER COUNTRIES, as long as you read the book in your language.

Edit your original post or add a new post with your updates. Whatever you like. Just please be clear as to the number of your books completed near the top of your post and to the left, for example:

6/25

to indicated you have completed six out of twenty-five books (or whatever palette you choose).

Duration: One year from your start date. You can start anytime after January 1, 2012.





Artist's Palettes: Choose the palette that best suits you. You can commit to one or all of the palettes, or decided to increase to the next palette as you go along.

  

Palette Title	# of Books	Colors
Primary		 03		blue, red, & yellow
Secondary	 03 		green, orange, & violet
Tertiary	 06		red–orange, red–violet,
				yellow–orange, yellow–green,
				blue–violet & blue–green
Grey Scale	 06		white to black

                                                               

  

Read a Rainbow*	 07		red, orange, yellow, green,
(*in order!)			blue, indigo, violet

*Read a Rainbow: Aristotle was first to devote serious attention to the rainbow and note that it ALWAYS appears in a specific order; Sir Isaac Newton was the first to differentiate and label the colors. Therefore, for this palette, your selected books must be read in the order posted below. You can work on other palettes, and come back to this one, but you can NOT jump around within this one (i.e. go from yellow to red). You can start at any color, but you must maintain the order.
               
                                                            



Bonus: Any book with two complementary colors on the cover. Complimentary colors appear directly opposite one another on the color wheel.

All your moderators worked on this one: CaroB, Heather, ✿Michelle✿, and myself; however, I would like to thank Heather & her graphic-artist husband for suggesting & finding the cool grey-scale (and the example books!). And CaroB for thinking of “Read a Rainbow” and finding the example books. ☺

[Lina]

Quick question, can we use books from other challenges on this or is this going to be limited to books read for this challenge only?

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Lisa Kay wrote: "LOL! I may steal it. ☺"

Steal away my dear! It just gives me more excuses to read the series and hopefully catch up with it by the end of the year. =) I'm addicted to it anyway, might as well use the addiction towards something productive.
