MoMA Colour Chart: Reinventing Colour is a great interactive website that allows you to investigate how Colour has been received throughout time periods, mediums and artirts. Definitely worth checking out! I'm starting to think that blocks of colour in a grid form are so appealing to my eyes. For example,
Mike Kelley's
Missing Time Colour Exercise #3 1998 Where he had front covers of comic magazines and a painted panel all in a grid formation.
And
Byron Kim's
Synedoche 1991-present Where you see multiple tonal variations that are from one or two main colours. Made from Oil and Wax which creates a wonderful gloss.
Gerhard Richter's
256 Colors 1974 and
Ten Large Color Panels 1966-1971/72 demonstrates how complex colour charts can be!
