When asked to choose my least favorite colour, I decided upon yellow. This is not due to the fact that I dislike the colour, I just feel that as a individual colour, It lacks a certain boldness about it that many other colours have and it can often fade away into the background. However, my preferences of colour vary for different situations and when integrated with other colours. For example, when yellow is mixed in a context with black, I can find that this can be one of my favorite colour combinations as it can create large amounts of contrast. My negative connotations of the colour yellow only apply when it is isolated on its own.
I feel that in the context of a children's book, yellow can be a very effective colour with lots of alternative partner colours which work well in harmony. I think that the colour scheme below can work extremely well in a very infant children's book as they are quite light and dreamy together. I believe that the colour scheme is very easy on the eye meaning that it would be perfect for a bedtime story to help the child drift off to sleep.
I have mocked up a simple colour scheme on this children's book design to put it into context.
I used the Adobe Colour Wheel and some Pantone colour charts to decide on my colour scheme.
