Color Savvy

What does your favorite color mean?

Purple - Darker colors, like eggplant and plum, are rich, dramatic, and sophisticated.

Deep shades are associated with luxury as well as creativity, and as an accent or secondary color, it gives a scheme depth.

Lighter versions, such as lavender and lilac, bring the same restful feeling to a bedroom that blue does, without the risk of feeling chilly.


Colors have three elements that identify them...
HUE,VALUE and INTENSITY.
Each of these three qualities create each color in the spectrum.

HUE —This is the actual color, it is what distinguishes red from blue, orange from yellow and identifies one color from another.

VALUE —This is the lightness or darkness of a color. In the illustration below you will see that white is at the top of the axis with black at the bottom; varying shades of gray then stretch between the white and black.

INTENSITY —This indicates the strength of the color. Those colors that have less chroma or intensity are located more towards the center of the axis; those colors that have more strength are located around the outer perimeter of color space.

Note: We have positioned a line drawing of a color wheel over the top of our color center photograph to assist in visualizing how colors are arranged to align with this tool.
Note: These three factors are what give a color its unique ‘character’ and begin to identify it as soft or strong, pastel or deep. Hue
