4 annotated images of colour

This image illustrates both bright and dull colours (the multicoloured sweets on her lips vs the black and white everywhere else). This to me is eye catching as they contrast against each other. The colours also highlight the oddness within the picture as it could be seen as weird that there are so many sweets that have stuck to her lips. Personally I like this. 

This image has vibrant colours mixing with each other, which to me is aesthetically pleasing. the colours stand out even more against a black background, which draws the readers eyes even more. The colours are interesting because at the bottom there are hardly any and then  they burst into lots. This image is interesting for me to look at. 

This image shows various shades of purple which shows the depth colours have as they can run into many different variations. The shades are not in chronological order and are just scattered about which makes the tiles seem as if they have all discoloured at different stages. Personally, I am not that bothered by this image, I just thought it was a good illustration of colours. 

This image represents many different colours within the spectrum. These colours range from dull to vibrant as they seem to get brighter and brighter as the colours continue. The many different colours used are interesting to look at as it shows there are many different shades to each colour and eventually they blend into a complete new colour. I like this image. 

My own definition:

Colour represents different moods in images and attracts the attention of an audience to different parts, it comes in many different shades.
