Color Swatches

 Going into illustrator I created several rounded squares, about eight, to house the swatches for my project, after grabbing some ideas from my mood board and Coolers.com I put together a pallet that tied together some of the themes and food styles of the restaurant. 

1. "Woodland"

A darker green that leans more towards the yellow segment of the color wheel, this color invokes the natural greens found in wildlife, as both Quebec and Lousiana are chalk full of wonderful colors of nature and plants.

Hex#- 585223

RGB- 88, 82, 35

2. "Cream Can"

A light orange that pops, while vibrant, it matches nicely with the darker nature based colors in this pallet, the light orange represents the soft reflections the sun casts on the many lakes, and ponds found in nature.

Hex#-F5BC60

RGB- 245, 188, 96

3. "Jaffa"

A more saturated orange, representing the orangey spices and Rouxs that Cajun cooking often produces.

Hex#- F58548

RGB- 245, 133, 72

4. "Old Brick"

This color takes some inspiration from the provided mood board of what the interior aesthetic and colors would be, darker reds and browns.

Hex#- 9A271F

RGB- 154, 39, 31

5. "Dove Grey"

A neutral grey that will be used as a supporting color to the much more vibrant yellows, and blues.

Hex#- 676767

RGB- 103, 103, 103

6. "Silver"

Another neutral grey, that is lighter, and can be used in a metallic styling, less of a supporting color and more of its own pop out.

Hex#- C4C4C4

RGB- 196, 196, 196

7. "Danube"

A light and soft blue, taken inspiration from the Quebec flag with a little less vibrancy.

Hex#- 5A86C5

RGB- 90, 134, 197

8. "Chathams Blue"

A dark and rich blue, meant to reflect the sky at dusk before nightfall to give the atmosphere a late night diner appeal.

Hex#- 174177

RGB- 23, 65, 119
