01

Take a closer look

Colours interact. A light patch looks different against a dark background than against a light one. Area, material and surroundings also affect the result; personal perceptions may differ.

02

Now try it

  1. Create two small compositions with the same three colours but different proportions.
  2. Compare the effects without relying only on “beautiful” or “ugly”.

03

Think it through

Must the same colour mean the same thing to everyone?

No. Experience and cultural context can influence meaning. Observable contrasts can still be described together.
