The difference between the colours of 1970 and 1960

In the 1970's colour was a lot more conservative. Beige, brown. cream. Smooth colours, earthy colours. Many cars in this era had these similarly earthy and conservative colours. A far cry from the 1960's.

The 1960's however where very colourful...almost too colourful, inspired by the drug culture and the rise of music and of the psychedelic. This could be seen everywhere from advertising to fashion. Bright coloured cars and bright clothes, and colours that  burn your eyes.

Photoshop's colour mode is RBG because it is on a computer screen. Printed CMBK is a better choice

Colour in the modern day I would say is very split. In fashion dark colours are quite prevalent, but there is some colour, sometimes. Burgandy as on the rise for a bit. In film colour has a split depending on genre but there is an increase in brown, earthy tones used.
