Color choices
Op art ocean waves can begin with the broad foreground bands in alternating blues and greens. Color the sailboat hull in warm orange, then use yellow and coral across the sails while leaving the mast dark for contrast. Try pale purple and pink in the clouds. Finish the circular sky shape with a bright yellow or soft peach against cooler background bands.
Wave Color Rhythm
Choose a repeating color sequence for the curved wave bands. Carry the sequence into the background while giving the sailboat a contrasting palette.
