Beyond Personal Opinions: The Science Behind Color
Once upon a time it was all about the colors you “Love.”
But while loving the spaces you live and work in, there’s a lot more to the colors that are best to create optmium spaces.
“Supportive Color for the Built Environment” is my way of saying that there is science behind our color choices. The physical qualities—and their related responses, even to emotional effects—are all included. Hue, Value, Chroma…Saturation, texture, environmental lighting, room sizes, and more…are some of the important elements that combine in myriad ways to create spaces that add to comfort, productivity, and more healthy, supportive environments.
Typically we’re not literally, overtly aware of all this going on; it seems to happen “behind the scenes.” Nonetheless, it’s very real.
As a foundation, all of these pieces combine, in creating the ultimate best colors to apply in any built environment.
This is essentially what I consider when working with you. Collaboration, Your preferences, and behind it all the scientific information that mixes well with intuition.
