Color Rules of Thumb "I just wanted to send you a quick email on behalf of some of the children I volunteer with at the Family Nature Club here in Utah. We've been reviewing some resources on the Internet for our science projects and came across your page and found it extremely helpful! As a thank you, a couple of the kids wanted to send you back another page they found about eco-friendly wall painting that they thought you might want to add to your site because it could help you and your visitors as well They've actually been using it as much as your page to complete their project and thought it would be exciting to see it up on the same page as where they got the information from your site that helped them so much. I even offered Jenny, the student that presented it to me, extra credit if you wanted to help us! Would you be able to consider adding it for them? Top Top
Color Think Tank - the psychology of color Our personal and cultural associations affect our experience of color. Colors are seen as warm or cool mainly because of long-held (and often universal) associations. Yellow, orange and red are associated with the heat of sun and fire; blue, green and violet with the coolness of leaves, sea and the sky. Although red, yellow and orange are in general considered high-arousal colors and blue, green and most violets are low-arousal hues, the brilliance, darkness and lightness of a color can alter the psychological message. Colors act upon the body as well as the mind. People will actually gamble more and make riskier bets when seated under a red light as opposed to a blue light. For most people, one of the first decisions of the day concerns color harmony. How often have you caught your breath at the sight of a flowerbed in full bloom? Color is light and light is energy. An executive for a paint company received complaints from workers in a blue office that the office was too cold.

Advertising-grabbing the attention of the buyer to buy one's product. In a sense that's exactly what we're attempting to do with our photographs. When I was in college, I took a class that was just about color in advertising. There's an age-old adage that when photographing birds, if you don't have a good background, find something green to put behind them. The Basic Psychology of Color With the human brain able to distinguish over two hundred shades of white, able to see the same color no matter the light source, saying color is essential to our perception is no slight exaggeration.

Color Matters - Design and Art - Color Theory Color theory encompasses a multitude of definitions, concepts and design applications - enough to fill several encyclopedias. However, there are three basic categories of color theory that are logical and useful : The color wheel, color harmony, and the context of how colors are used. Color theories create a logical structure for color. The Color Wheel A color circle, based on red, yellow and blue, is traditional in the field of art. There are also definitions (or categories) of colors based on the color wheel. Primary Colors: Red, yellow and blueIn traditional color theory (used in paint and pigments), primary colors are the 3 pigment colors that cannot be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors. Secondary Colors: Green, orange and purpleThese are the colors formed by mixing the primary colors. Tertiary Colors: Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green & yellow-greenThese are the colors formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color. Color Harmony 1. 2.
Color Psychology - The Psychology of Color Do you feel anxious in a yellow room? Does the color blue make you feel calm and relaxed? Artists and interior designers have long believed that color can dramatically affect moods, feelings, and emotions. Color is a powerful communication tool and can be used to signal action, influence mood, and even influence physiological reactions. Certain colors have been associated with increased blood pressure, increased metabolism, and eyestrain. So how exactly does color work? What Is Color Psychology? In 1666, English scientist Sir Isaac Newton discovered that when pure white light passes through a prism, it separates into all of the visible colors. Further experiments demonstrated that light could be combined to form other colors. If you have ever painted, then you have probably noticed how certain colors can be mixed to create other colors. "Given the prevalence of color, one would expect color psychology to be a well-developed area," researchers Andrew Elliot and Markus Maier have noted.
Design Accessibly, See Differently: Color Contrast Tips And Tools What Your Logo's Color Says About Your Company (Infographic) | Fast Company | Business Innovation When it comes to identifying your brand, your logo is probably the first thing your customers will think of. While honing the narrative and message behind your logo should of course be your primary concern, research suggests that your logo’s design–and specifically its colors–have more bearing on your customers’ opinions than you might think. Neuroscientist Bevil Conway, who has focused his recent research almost entirely on the neural machinery behind color, believes the science behind color processing to be very powerful and completely underexploited. “Knowing that humans might … be hardwired for certain hues could be a gateway into understanding the neural properties of emotion,” he told Co.Design earlier this month. The implications of color’s effect on people’s emotions are far reaching, and understanding your customers’ connections to certain colors could increase the effectiveness of your company’s branding methods.
