Just as the sun was about to set, the sky became an array of pastel tones superimposed with pink and cobalt blue clouds. In contrast was a bright orange detour fin sign, to which I added the question mark because the detours never seem to actually end here in Montreal! The sky was cobalt blue (PB28) with pyrrol orange (PO73) and some neutral yellow ochre (PY43 and a touch of carbon black). Part of the colour comes from wildfires in North America which tint the sky a yellowish orange. I made the sign slightly yellower because when I scan it, the result you see is a bit redder. So the orange you see on the screen is almost identical to what I saw in real life. If you saw the painting, it looks a bit yellower. Certain colours change after scanning and digitizing.
