Could I get some input on color fills for this attached Corel Draw V12 barber shop clock please.

Specifically, I would like to fill the outer ring and the inner clock face (where the numbers are) with contrasting fills that will add some professionalism to the project.


This will be printed, probably on vinyl, and placed into a round ring to hang on the wall to be viewed in a mirror. It uses a special clock mechanism that runs in reverse.

Any other suggestions to improve the clock project are welcomed.

I would go with a red, white and blue theme like is on a barber pole

Thanks for the input Larry - makes sense to me. I think I will try to do a American flag colors theme in the background as a swirling fill - now to figure out how to do that !!

I agree with red white and blue. Here's a start.

Thanks Mike - I have twiddled with what you did using the interactive fill to vary the shade of blue slightly and I am still working on it.

Try the conical setting and custom colors.
