For this color study, I was tasked to take one of my favorite film or video game characters and alter their color scheme. The character I chose was Yuzuru Nishimiya, the sister of the main character Shouku. Yuzuru is a major character with mainly masculine attire. Her original outfit consists of the primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) and I altered it to be in a complementary (blue & yellow), analogous (red, yellow & orange), and a monochromatic (purple) color scheme.
For the analogous scheme, I found that the color harmonies added an element of sociability and creativity for the character, given that orange was the major color in this composition and that it is a "in your face"/"loud" color. The harmonies add an additional little "kick" to the character's common brash and defensive personality. The red of her hair also adds to the hot-headed feel of her personality. Nexthe blue and yellow, complementary, combo adds more difference to the character than the complements of the analogous combination. The blue of her face and hair adds a more mellow feel to her personality, in comparison to the yellow-orange of her clothes, giving a pop of color. Normally, she is abrasive towards people she dislikes, as a defense mechanism, and this blue color is a direct opposite to that, changing her personality and character. The same thing can be said about the monochromatic (purple) scheme, as it gives a soft, mellowness to her normally fiery personality. The altering shades/tints of purple also complement each other nicely, which I would say is a plus for this design. Overall, the changing of the color scheme of a character is crucial to their personality and traits, altering them with the color's meaning.
