Colour 6

Twinings advert
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdkcsDueSMM
The advert uses a variety of tints and shades throughout. Although the two major colours are not quite complimentary, they still have vast range of tints of shades.

It starts off with a woman on a boat during a storm. The dominant colour here is a dark green blue as the sea and sky is filled with mostly shades of this colour. It gives a sense of danger and despair as the colour is fairly dark but also quite dull. With the sky and sea being the of the same colour scheme, you get a further sense of isolation, paired with the wide shots.



However the main character stands out from the whole scenery. She is almost dressed in complimentary colours from the scene as her colour scheme is a red/pink whereas the sea is a blue/green.


As the advert progresses, you see the colours of the sky change from the dark blue to a more orangey pink. This in turn reflects off the sea and changes the entire colour scheme of the advert.
The colours now become more harmonic and the subtle tints of pink and orange work very well with the characters dress. She doesn't blend in however as her colours are far more saturated then the background.
