The Assignment Part 1
Materials = Photoshop (imaging computer or hand tools, paint kit and brushes
Select 4 words that relate to ‘custom’ color (salmon, sea foam, berry, sand, etc).
Select 4 words that relate to an adjective (friendly, powerful, soggy, small, etc).
Create a design for each word where the meaning is expressed through the way it is written (typography, text and image)
Pair the words in your sketch book (one color one adjective) and create a composition using these two word-elements, relating to each other through size, orientation, relation to frame, etc
Select one of the pairs of words to do the color assignment
Using ONLY the colors TITANIUM WHITE, LEMON YELLOW, BRILLIANT RED, and BLUE LAKE, mix the color that that best expresses your custom color
Using ONLY the colors TITANIUM WHITE, LEMON YELLOW, BRILLIANT RED, and BLUE LAKE, mix the color that that best expresses the color of your adjective.
Paint both of the words on a single piece of canvas board.

Color Project
The All Seeing Eye of Color Colour
The Creativeness Behind The Design
Color is the adjective and Colour is the ‘custom’ color.
What is the color/colour of color/colour (respectively)?
If you refer to colormatters.com
Then
A basic understanding of how colors are created is the first step in providing correct answers. Here are two examples of how colors exist:
The color of a tangible object is the result of pigments or molecular coloring agents. For example, the color of a red apple is the result of molecular coloring agents on the surface of the apple. Also, a painting of a red apple is the result of red pigments used to create the image.
The colors of objects viewed on a television set or on a computer monitor are the result of colored light. If you're not familiar with how colors are created by light, look at your monitor or television screen close up. Put your eye right up against the screen. A small magnifying glass might help. This is what you will see. 
A simplified way to explain it is that the color of a red apple on a computer or television is created by photons of red light that are transmitted within the electronic system.
With this in mind
Again I asked?
What is the color/colour of color/colour (respectively)?
I chose to represent the color as pigments or molecular coloring agents.
Hence when you look at each word (Color or Colour) you see a scaled up version of what the eye sees. (which is our primitive tool for depecting color)
The Assignment Part 2
Switch boards with a classmate and try to match their color and design on a different piece of canvas board.

Classmate Brian Sherwood made this 12" x 12" project.

I scaled it down to fit the 8" x 6" canvas I had and ended up with this pretty close copy.
It wasn't easy mixing the paint to match. I'm close, but still off a bit.
The Important Part
What Did I Learn?
I learned that:
Typography and color in 2D design is all about being creative.
Color is in the eye of the beholder.
Opinions (although necessary in art) are like assholes,
everyone has one.
HeHe :)~
It's hard to remix someone elses color mix by eye.

Time waits for no one.
There are no rules in ART.
