Tanya showed me how I could use illustrator’s colour wheel tool to create some interesting colours – It will take a range of colours and change them based on different colour relationships eg complimentary etc to create a colour scheme.
First I took the image into illustrator and used image trace to convert it into colour shapes with a more limited range – The illustrator adjusted the colours for me.



I played around with different numbers of colours – in the end the best result was reducing the image to 6 colours and recolouring based on that.
