Prompt 6: Aquamarine

For previous prompts, I've looked at blue versions of brown128.jpg (Kyanite) and green versions (Peridot). This time, I'm going to start with the colour that lies between them, turquoise, and then go on to variants that combine turquoise with blue and/or green.

As before, I'd like to start with some essentially monochromatic ("solid") versions, in which the pattern is visible only as a texture. More heavily textured graphics are in the second and third row.



Back when I did the prompt for Kyanite, I demonstrated how GRSites' colour-wheel-rotation doohickey worked on a set of graphics I dubbed "the bluebell collection", which ran from blue & turquoise variants through various gradations to magenta & indigo. However, it is also possible to turn the colour wheel in the other direction, running through turquoise to green:



As you can see above, the "feathery" areas are coloured (rather than muted, as in the original brown128.jpg),and contrast with regions in the other colour that have much the same degree of saturation, and in some instances are only slightly lighter.

The following variants follow much the same pattern, except that the "feathers" are much more strongly saturated than the rest of design, and thus stand out sharply. These variants have a clean distinction between the areas of different colour.



Here is a somewhat different pattern: again the "feathers" are coloured, but the contrast has been pushed so that there are sharper loops, and distinct stripes in the lighter areas.



Of course, there are quite a wide range of other variants with various combinations of turquoise and/or blue and/or green:

So many of these look like extremely abstract versions of the Northern Lights. I think this is my favorite of your graphics sets yet!

My business logo is in the aquamarine family, so suffice to say this family of colors is a favorite of mine.

Trying to pick some favorites from this batch and I think thins one and this one, but this one is also quite appealing (and very much peacock feather in my mind).
