We see a vast variety of colors everyday in our lives. What I learned from the reading is how much a color can impact your mood and actions. Colors move in and out of fashion and as a result, an entire industry has emerged to predict its course. Colors such as red, and yellow increase heart rate and therefore that increases your appetite. That’s why so many fast food industries use the colors red and yellow to market their restaurant so that when people see it, they’ll want their food. What I also learned is that colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel are called analogous. Using them together provides minimal color contrast and an innate harmony, because each color has some element in common with others in the sequence. The subtractive color system is when one begins with the color white and eventually ends with black. As one adds color, the result gets darker and tends to black. Learning these different types of ways that color is perceived and used, it makes me wonder how much color impacts my life. Whenever its rainy out, I always tend to be way more lazy than if it was bright out, because on a rainy day, its darker outside. Now, I will recognize more on the impact that color makes throughout my everyday life.
