SPECTRUM

At the moment at University we are doing a two week experimental colour project. As mentioned in my previous blog post we were given three colours and we had to research into it and create mood boards on what we love and what we are over with. In the lecture today we were given a talk by Tim on the colour red, which was very useful and what to look out for when doing these sorts of projects. 

"There is a shade of red for every woman" -Audrey Hepburn

If you compare red and gold, they are both stereotypically significant colours but with different connotations on the spectrum. Red links in with love, warmth and seduction and is a very rich colour. Tim our lecturer was giving us a different outlook and made us consider aspects we wouldn't usually think of. For example, like what wearing red on different parts of the body would imply in different cultures and looking at different shades and tones of red and how they create different moods. 

Red is definitely a respectable, classic colour which always creates a statement. Throughout history it has always represented wealth and authority.
