Color Theory From the Archives

I made this ten TWENTY years ago, in my freshman Color Theory class at SCAD. I always liked it, despite it resembling absolutely nothing from my Colorado upbringing. I only knew two kids who had a pool, and we were in an older 1950's-era neighborhood, less uniform than the mid-'80s tract homes seen here.

Color Study Looks at Effects of Red and Blue

From the New York Times:

Then there was the cocktail party study, in which a group of interior designers, architects and corporate color scientists built model rooms decorated as bars in red, blue or yellow. They found that more people chose the yellow and red rooms, but that partygoers in the blue room stayed longer. Red and yellow guests were more social and active. And while red guests reported feeling hungrier and thirstier than others, yellow guests ate twice as much.

Color

If you ever need some color inspiration, check out ColourLovers.com, an online community devoted to sharing ideas about color, color palettes, and trends. It's a great place for getting some inspiration, and if nothing else, an idea of what other designers out there are using.

Here's a particularly nice, cool, bold palette from deus that caught my eye this morning as I was searching for some inspiration.
