 Colors

This week, we discuss colors and their effects on people over the years, including their effects on interiors.

Colors can all have different values connected to a primary color like red, yellow, and blue. This chart shows us the various values from lightest to darkest of each color.



Saturation, or Chroma, is when colors are bright or clear. This happens when colors are highly saturated. When colors have less saturation, they become soft and dusty. 



Light also plays a part in colors since it can give the color a different effect, which is something an interior designer must keep in mind since some colors can look great under the light or with little like while may not this effect is called metamerism and it is essential to keep in mind when choosing color for an interior space,


These photos show the effect of metamerism.



Color's effect in today's culture is grand; the rainbow is now mainly used for gender representation, and we can relate the colors to a particular sports team or a country's flag and how we think of what type of colors should be used in social gatherings like when you think of a era like the 60' where the primary colors where rainbow tie-dye.

  2. Irma,
    This was a great Blog entry. I love how you summarized the material on color that we looked at this week. The image that showed metamerism was great! Lighting makes such a difference. I adored your focus on the colors of the 60's. Your wallpaper assignment looks intriguing. I can't wait to see it in person. Please include your sketch each week- that was missing this week. 20/25 points
