L’étonnant pouvoir des couleurs de Jean-Gabriel Causse - Ergophile : Ergonomie web & mobile Si vous ne connaissez pas les Creative Mornings, voici un bref récapitulatif de ces évènements dédiés aux professionnels, étudiants ou passionnés de design : Creative Mornings, conférences matinales mensuelles pour créatifs invétérés. Les Creative Mornings ont débuté en 2008 à New York grâce à la designeuse Swiss_Miss. Fort de leur succès, ces petits déjeuners se sont répandus dans le monde entier, plus précisément dans 88 villes. Chaque mois une nouvelle thématique apparait et deviens le fil conducteur de chaque évènement. Le mois dernier, la thématique était « Color » : Comment la couleur influence notre quotidien, notre environnement de travail, nos humeurs ou émotions. En mai dernier, son livre “L’étonnant pouvoir des couleurs” vit le jour au grand public. Ci-dessous quelques slides de sa conférence et une interview vidéo :
kuler Color Psychology by David Johnson Like death and taxes, there is no escaping color. It is ubiquitous. Yet what does it all mean? Why are people more relaxed in green rooms? Why do weightlifters do their best in blue gyms? Colors often have different meanings in various cultures. Black Black is the color of authority and power. White Brides wear white to symbolize innocence and purity. Red The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing. Blue The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. Green Currently the most popular decorating color, green symbolizes nature. Yellow Cheerful sunny yellow is an attention getter. Purple The color of royalty, purple connotes luxury, wealth, and sophistication. Brown Solid, reliable brown is the color of earth and is abundant in nature. Colors of the Flag In the U.S. flag, white stands for purity and innocence. Food for Thought

Cognition Cognition is a faculty for the processing of information, applying knowledge, and changing preferences. Cognition, or cognitive processes, can be natural or artificial, conscious or unconscious.[4] These processes are analyzed from different perspectives within different contexts, notably in the fields of linguistics, anesthesia, neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, philosophy, anthropology, systemics, and computer science.[5][page needed] Within psychology or philosophy, the concept of cognition is closely related to abstract concepts such as mind, intelligence. It encompasses the mental functions, mental processes (thoughts), and states of intelligent entities (humans, collaborative groups, human organizations, highly autonomous machines, and artificial intelligences).[3] Etymology[edit] Origins[edit] Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920) heavily emphasized the notion of what he called introspection; examining the inner feelings of an individual.

Working Space Comparison: sRGB vs. Adobe RGB 1998 Adobe RGB 1998 and sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (sRGB) are two of the most common working spaces used in digital photography. This section aims to clear up some of the confusion associated with sRGB and Adobe RGB 1998, and to provide guidance on when to use each working space. sRGB is a RGB color space proposed by HP and Microsoft because it approximates the color gamut of the most common computer display devices. Adobe RGB 1998 was designed (by Adobe Systems, Inc.) to encompass most of the colors achievable on CMYK printers, but by using only RGB primary colors on a device such as your computer display. The following color gamut comparison aims to give you a better qualitative understanding of where the gamut of Adobe RGB 1998 extends beyond sRGB for shadow (~25%), midtone (~50%), and highlight colors (~75%). Comparison uses CIE L*a*b* reference space; colors are only qualitative to aid in visualization. Adobe RGB 1998 clearly has a larger gamut than sRGB, but by how much?
