Color Interaction Studies – Continued

NEXT INTERACTION STUDIES:

  • 2 color study pairs will explore interactions by shifting hue, but not value.
  • 2 color study pairs will explore interactions by shifting hue and value.

Process:

  • Using your center square color from the last study, attempt to make this one color appear as two by varying the surrounding color.
  • For the first pair, choose background hues that cause the center square to appear as if it’s a different hue. This may be subtle, but observable.
    • For example: the center square on the right appears reddish-violet when surrounded by green (complement of red) and the one on the left appears more bluish-violet when surrounded by orange (complement of blue). Notice the value doesn’t change.

      adjustments in hue

  • For the second pair, choose background colors that cause the center squares to appear as if they’re both different in hue and value.
    • For Example: the center square on the left appears both bluer and darker when surrounded by yellow-orange, than the one on the right,which appears lighter and more reddish, when surrounded by blue-green.
