Title: Ottawa Colour
Series: National Colour
Historical Notice: This project presents each Canadian capital city as a three-part colour palette. Each palette was created using digital tools that were able to pick out the top three colours from key locations in each capital. This is significant in the Canadian context because it gives abstract visual references for each capital of the country. Colours are very evocative and these palettes can be used to inspire art and design from a local perspective.
