Good/Bad Color Unity Examples


Good


This is a good example of color unity because they didn't a really nice job using the gray background to make the red on the package really pop. Since it's such a light gray, it mixes well with the white on the package, and there is also a bit of gray in the shine on the cherries, which seems to bring the two together.






This is also a really good example of color unity. The red background automatically draws it all together and makes it feel like a whole, but there are other things that bring it together as well. The white bird with the yellow leg make the font in the right, bottom corner understandable. The yellow hand does this too, and the blue and green guitar is the thing that catches your eye since its different colors than the rest of the poster, but it doesn't seem out of place because of the yellow hand holding it.




Bad


This is a bad example of color unity because of the layout of all the different colors. The pink really catches your eye, but because it is only on one half of the poster, your eye never goes to the other side. The other side of the poster is lacking in color. The muted green and turquoise make it boring, and from the looks of it, I'm pretty sure that side is the most important. It has the information you want to know on it, and you completely pass it up when looking at the poster.







This is a bad example of color unity because of its lack of interest. The neutral color does bring it together but there is no exciting aspect to the bottle, which makes it boring. This bottle would never catch my eye in a store. If they varied the values of the neutrals on the bottle more, I think it would look a lot better.
