(2017) Color Theory for 2D Design

This assignment was insane.  We looked at how putting two colors next to each other could make our eyes see one of the colors differently than if the color was viewed by itself.  I had to try to make one color look like two different colors (first image) and two different colors look like the same color (second image).  I could only use the colors in the larger rectangles to try to modify the way the smaller rectangles looked.  IT WAS SO HARD.  I think the first one is actually pretty impressive; the turquoise does a great job of bringing out the purple in the smaller rectangle. But I seriously struggled with the second challenge.  The purples don't look exactly the same, but pretty close.  

Brains are so weird.
