OUGD405 - Wayfinding Colour Scheme


Colour Scheme.


I based the way finding colour scheme on areas in Leeds which the system will be placed.  I did this by taking pictures and sampling colours from the images. The best results came from the closed Merrion Centre underpass as it contained oranges from traffic cones and blues from decaying advertisements and posters.

I narrowed the choice to 2 colour schemes



To decide which scheme worked best I put them into context.





The first colour scheme works well as it is more cool toned, the second scheme is much warmer. The first one is more suited to the system as the cold tones reflect the feeling of being underground.
