Colour Theory


The aim of such study is to develop—through experience—by trial and error—an eye for colour. This means, specifically, seeing colour actionas well as feeling colour relatedness.

This way of searching will lead from a visual realizationof the interaction between colour and colour to an awareness of the interdependence of colour with form and placement; with quantity (which measures amount, respectively extensionand/or number, including recurrence); with quality (intensity of light and/or hue); and with pronouncement (by separating or connecting boundaries).

By exercising comparison and distinction of colour boundaries, and new and important measure is gained for the reading of the plastic action of colour, that is, for the spatial organization of colour. Since softer boundaries disclose nearness implying connection, harder boundaries indicate distance, separation.

No mechanical colour system is flexible enough to precalculate the manifold changing factors, as named before, in a single prescribed recipe.

Besides a balance through colour harmony, which is comparable to symmetry, there is an equilibrium possible between colour tensions, related to a more dynamic asymmetry.
Again: knowledge and its application is not our aim; instead, it is flexible imagination, discover, invention—taste.
Well there you go then....
that's that....
I think....
sort of...
maybe
