Colour theory

Documentary

Colours influence how we live our lives

Do we see colour the same as each other

Colour names in language vid - vox?

Colour is an illusion

150 ppl doing an experiment

Red - love danger violence

Russel hill - does wearing red help us with competitiveness

Tai kwon do - red vs blue. Red wins significantly more often. 2/3rds

Experiment - penalty shoot out, some in red, some in blue, some in white

Reds n browns make u hungry thats why restaurants often use them. Warm lighting

Blue light made diners go giddy at 10pm in a restaurant

Photosensitive ganglia - eye cell regulates body clock. Sensitive only to BLUE. (blue light from laptops phones keeps me awake)

Early life single cell organisms in the ocean sensitive to blue & yellow moved around the ocean

Colour is a construct of our brains it doesn’t exist

Colour constancy 

Language affects how we see colour

Himba people have only a few words to describe colour

See colour differently

Synesthesia

“Johannes Itten, painter, designer and teacher in the Bauhaus school, he´s the first to make a theory about the possible types of contrasts that are produced by the different features of color. Johannes distinguished seven types of contrast. saturation, temperature, simultaneous, proportion, luminosity, hue and complementary colors.”

“THE 7 COLOR CONTRASTS IDENTIFIED BY JOHANNES ARE:

1- THE CONTRAST OF PURE COLORS. CONTRAST OF SATURATION.

100% of color saturation produces a high visual contrast. These colors do not contain any other colors, neither black nor white.

2- COLOR CONTRAST BETWEEN WARM AND COLD COLORS. TEMPERATURE CONTRAST.

The difference of temperature that the color has, increases the visual contrast between the two colors.

3- SIMULTANEOUS CONTRAST.

When we have a saturated color (without any gray or white) and we place it above a gray, inside the gray tone we will see the complementary color of the saturated color. If we have a red on a gray, some blue hue will be generated inside the gray color (blue is the complementary of the red). Simultaneous means that the contrast is generated because a color is near another color, and there is always an visual effect between them.

4- THE CONTRAST OF PROPORTION.

We have two colors but each color occupies a different area, or size. This difference generates a quantity contrast.

5- THE CONTRAST OF LIGHT AND DARK.

Juxtaposition of two colors with different brightness or tonal value.

6- CONTRAST OF COMPLEMENTARY COLORS.

It is the contrast that create two opposite colors on the color wheel, that is the complementary colors.

7- CONTRAST OF QUALITY OR HUE

The quality or hue of the color, if it is more or less saturated, this will make the color more live or turned off. When we are placing a bright color near one without hue, a visual contrast is generated.”

Interaction of colour - josef albers

Johannes itten - the art of colour

Hue = one specific colour

Colour = a set of hues

Shades = hue plus black

Hint = hue plus white

Tone = hue plus black

7 contrasts

Initial idea: colours used to cancel each other out in makeup eg green over red patches, orange over purple bruises
