Colour pallet research

 After research about the colours used in Ancient China and why, i decided develop more into it and research about the colours used not just in clothes and for decoration but in poetry.

During the Ming Dynasty period, the poetry started to have a bigger influence all around the world because it was famous for its fine ceramics and especially the cobalt blue and white porcelain. With it i decided to start thinking about create my colour pallete with that colours.

In the image above, is possible to see an experimentation about the dye techniques used in the past and how they bond and explored the colours in that period.

The next images will be about the three colour pallets i chose to keep developing my project.
