Optimistic: Hoping or believing that good things will happen in the future.

Ideation and Research:

As every color has it's own emotion and expression I need to choose them wisely which resembles my thinking behind it. So, here are few color emotions which I consider before designing my palette.

white - purity, innocence, cleanliness, neutrality, peace.
Black - authority, power, strength, evil, intelligence.
gray(shade of black) - neutral, timeless, practical
Yellow - sunshine, joy, happiness, laughter, cheery, warmth, optimism, hunger, an intensity, frustration, attention.
Blue - calmness, serenity, cold, uncaring, loyalty, truth, focused.
Green - nature, Harmony, Envy, growth, money, health.

Emotional Color Palette: Optimistic - image 1 - student project

Design and Implementation:

Ended up with three colors to generate my emotion

Now that I have chosen the colors based on my ideation, time to design a palette that shows my emotion. While the first two shades of the white show a sense of space and neutrality in design, the yellow RGB(254, 218, 106) placed beside the black color shades (as every color has it's good and bad side of usage BLACK is not an exception it absorbs everything besides it, but if you place it in a situation which is very vibrant and positive, it will absorb a tremendous amount of energy, which illustrates the good use of it.) brings a strong optimistic(being positive) feel to the user.

The feedback I would like to receive from other Mavericks:

1. Do you think in general that black or shades of black will bring the positive feel when combined with a calm, peaceful or cheery colors?

2. And any other feedback and thoughts on project are appreciated :)

Thank you.
