Stage 4 Colour moods and themes
Moods, colours and marks
I think I already wrote about my uncertainty to split hairs between what creates a mood.
Is it the colour, the mark or both?
I decided to try a little experiment. On the website www.colourlovers.com you can pick a pattern from their library and play with the colours in that pattern.
What a difference a colour makes……
However did this answer my initial question? Well no… I needed to repeat my little experiment by keeping the same colours but this time changing the pattern. Now I ended up with this.
Based on this little experiment I dare to say that the colour influences the mood more than the marks. Every time the blue shines through the strongest I can’t seem to call it anything but “bright” and “cheerful”. Even in a potentially very moody pattern like the last “woven style one”.
Thanks for the link to colorlovers - could potentially be a really useful tool. I love your work and blog. The way to interpret the exercises is really inspirational.
