I began assigning colours to the values by using a limited palette to create a monochrome effect. By keeping the colouring cohesive I expected it to create a sort of calming atmosphere, but ran into some issues. I originally chose a soft lilac-blue palette inspired by the last line of the poem “the silence of the sands when tides are low”. However, the colours fell flat and made it hard to distinguish details. I experimented with a more vibrant teal, but it resulted in an eerie tonality that didnt suit the theme.
I revisted a blue colour palette, adjusting the contrast between the values to pull some deeper tones from the background. To do this I created a wider gradient in the sky, providing a clear outline for the horizon. The richness of the blue tied the elements of the foreground together nicely without becoming too messy. However, I was still concerned that the monochrome palette would make it hard for the audience to differentiate the time of day shown in the panels.
