Colors

I selected several colors which I like, and documented their different data, RGB, CMYK, and Pantone.
I can see a bit difference from each colors, Pantone can be a bit darker than RGB and CMYK cause they have their own different theories and usages.

RGB Color Model
The RGB color model is an additive color model in which red, green, and blue are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors.
The name of the model comes from the initials of three additive  primary colors, red, green, and blue.
The main purpose of the RGB color model is for the sensing, representation, and display images in electronic systems, such as televisions and computers, though it also has been used in conventional photography, (Before the electronic age, the RGB color model already had a solid theory behind it, based in human perception of colors)

CMYK Color Model
The CMYK Color model (Process color, four color) is a subtractive color model, used in color printing: cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black)
Though it varies by print house, press operator, press manufacturer and press run, ink is typically applied in order of abbreviation.

Pantone 
Pantone Inc. is a corporation headquartered in Carlstadt, New Jersey. The company is best known for its Pantone Matching System (PMS) a proprietary color space. Used in a variety of industries, primarily printing, though sometimes in a manufacture of colored paint, fabric, and plastics. In October 2007, X-Rite Inc, a supplier of color measurement instruments and software, purchased pantone ink for $180 million
 Pantone began as a commercial printing company in the 1950's 
The idea behind the PMS is to allow designers to "color match" specific colors when the design enters, production stage, regardless of the equipment used to produce the color. This system has been widely adopted by graphic designers and reproduction and printing houses for a number of years now.

By knowing their differences, and I started on using the colors I selected to make something out of them.
This is a pattern I found online, I think it would be nicer if it was with colors. I chose R-239, G-51, B-157 color and R-4 G-12 B-4 to make it look better

The black and pink colors are one of the colors I selected from the photograph.

Then I found this logo online
There's blue sky and clouds then turned into a light bulb to represent that nature gives us ideas; the blue sky seems quite bright, good color, but I want the both logos to look vibrant together in another way to make it look more like 2 logos in the same theme; and also to give them 'Pop-art" like
 I used the same RGB data to change the color of the light bulb's background.
