Beautifully Colorful Commercials

1 Comment/ in Design / by Nick
July 7, 2011

One of the hardest things for me to get right in my presentations is the color palette. I feel like I have good taste, but being able to get the blend of colors right is very difficult for me.

This past weekend I saw two commercials on television which featured amazing uses of color. Things like this inspire me to continue growing in my knowledge of color and how to use it.

The first was a commercial for Sherwin Williams paint. There are several in this series. Here’s the one I saw:

Here are a few others in that same series:

The second commercial I saw was for Georgia Power.

This spot was created by the creative agency, Three Legged Legs. In this blog post they outline in detail all the steps they took to create the spot. I love behind the scenes stuff like this and wish more agencies would do the same.

Do you know of any books, classes, or other resources for getting better acquainted with color? If so, please share.
