Colour scheme

Having researched the area there are two colours that are jumping out at me, they are red and green. As there is so much greenery in the form of parks, playing fields and reservoirs it seems fitting to have this colour to represent the area. The red would cover the military background as red is the colour we associate with Word War 1 and 2 due to the poppies that grew in the fields after battle. Red is also the complementary colour for green so it fits that way too.

The fabric samples below are of different shades of the colours chosen as well as different fabrics.

Panama - terrysfabrics.co.uk

The first samples are of a fabric called Panama from www.terrysfabrics.co.uk. This fabric is 100% cotton and comes in widths of 137cm. This fabric is extremely light and would not be very durable. However from these samples it would appear that using a darker shade of red in contrast with a light shade of green goes quite well together.

Brescia - www.modellifabrics.co.uk

The samples above are from www.modellifabrics and are called Brescia. The green is Brescia 1430 and the red Brescia 1434. This fabric is 805 polyeseter and 205vicose. It is 140cm wide. This fabric is for severe domestic use and conforms to Cigarette and match test. In the flesh the red is a bit on the pink side compared with its image from the internet above.

Passion Velvet - www.terrysfabrics.co.uk

These sample are called Passion Velvet and are from www.terrysfabrics.co.uk. The first is called Lime, the second Rouge and third Pistachio. I prefer the contrast of the Rough with the Pistachio as it looks warmer. The lime and rouge looks very bright as it it were going to be implemented with in a cafe which is not the look i am going for. This fabric would need to be treated if it were to be used in the pub as it doesn't conform to fire regulations. The width of this fabric is 137cm.

The colour scheme selected is also the trend for 2012, so the design for the pub wouldn'y date straight away.
