Primary and secondary colours

This task is all about producing images to match the six primary and secondary colours closely. With each colour whether primary ( red, yellow and blue ) or secondary ( green, violet and orange ), I took three images adjusting the exposure from the metre reading given by the camera to half a stop brighter and half a stop darker. What seems on the face of it fairly straight forward proved a real challenge as I wanted to find a range of images not relying totally on paint sprayed surfaces.... Having looked at all 18 images, I have chosen the six that best represent the colour of the original subject :

Red

P224: f13 @ 1/400  ISO 400   38mm  -0.7 exp.
Yellow

P227: f14 @ 1/40 ISO 200 21mm  0 exp.

Yellow was an interesting colour to try to capture as there were so many different shades around. This version is more of an egg yolk colour than say a 'lemon' colour but has a richness that I like.

Blue

P232: f8 @ 1/125  ISO 200  43mm  -0.7exp.

Green

P233: f14 @ 1/60 ISO 200 18mm +0.7 exp.

Violet

P237: f6.3 @ 1/125 ISO 200  38mm -0.7 exp.

Orange

 
P241: f14  1/30 ISO 200 18mm -0.7exp.
