At its core, color is perception. Our eyes see something and the data sent from our eyes to our brains interprets it as a particular color. Blue can also create feelings of sadness or aloofness. Consider how a painting that heavily features blue, such as those produced by Picasso during his "blue period," can seem lonely, sad, or forlorn. However, a triadic scheme can look juvenile and overwhelming if done wrong. It takes an experienced designer to pull this off. a b c Withrow RL (2004). "The Use of Color in Art Therapy".

Even if you’re not in sales or marketing, color theory is still critical. It’ll make your art and design more effective and help you develop a better eye for color.

Color psychology is the study of hues as a determinant of human behavior. Color influences perceptions that are not obvious, such as the taste of food. Colors have qualities that can cause certain emotions in people. [1] How color influences individuals may differ depending on age, gender, and culture. [2] Although color associations can vary contextually between cultures, color preference is thought to be relatively uniform across gender and race. [3] Instead of using all four colors in equal amounts, choose one dominant color and use the others for support and accents. Tetradic As stated above, most children know their colours and have an idea of what colour something could be. Even if they don’t know, if they are the COLOURologist it is fairly irrelevant they can put down anything and someone/everyone will move forward. I do also quite enjoy hearing the reasoning from my kids why they chose white for birthdays or something random such like.

In this step, you’ll probably draft, review, and work on a new draft at least a few times, but that’s okay! Remember, practice makes perfect. Labrecque, Lauren I. (July 2020).

It’s something that has been hardwired into us since the dawn of humanity. Red is perceived as a strong and active color which may influence both the person wearing it and others perceiving it. An evolutionary psychology explanation is that red may signal health as opposed to anemic paleness, or indicate anger due to flushing instead of paleness due to fear. It has been argued that detecting flushing may have influenced the development of primate trichromate vision. Primate studies have found that some species evaluate rivals and possible mates depending on red color characteristics. Facial redness is associated with testosterone levels in humans, and male skin tends to be redder than female skin. [79] Gaming [ edit ]
