Design & Color
"An interior design color scheme just for you..."
This source is really good if you don't know what colors you want a room to be. Soft blues and greens promote rest, and are usually used in bedrooms. Rooms for entertaining such as dining rooms or living rooms are better with warmer colors, because the room is more active. Another color consideration that they mentioned is the lighting. A color can take on a whole different dimension based on the surrounding light it reflects. This phenomenon applies in situations involving both natural and artificial light. This article also goes into detail about certain color schemes such as analogous, complementary, triad, monochromatic, and split complementary.
"Design Notes:Color "
This source goes into much further detail of color than we learned in class. It gives information on how we see color and the physics of color. It also talks about the distinct properties which are hue, value, and saturation. All the colors of the spectrum are hues, value is the lightness or darkness of color, and saturation is the brightness or dullness. It describes the color and light theory which we ouched on in class. The light theory deals with radiated and filtered light. The pigment deals with how white light is absorbed and reflected off of colored surfaces. Lastly, color temperatures effect us both pshchologically and perceptually. They help determine how objects appear positioned in space. Warm colors are said to advance, and cool colors are said to recede.
