Color Daze: ColorPlay for EveryDay
If you were trying to assign a color for each day…what would it be?
Cool Down with Seablue Pearl
In the heat of Summer, or in our case in the Bay Area, Fall…cooling down may take place in a seablue pearl guest room…and since you are the guest, you can relax, dreaming of sky and water.
Sunrise, Sunset...Shorter get the Daze...
Sunny days yield magnificent sunsets which burn into night. Tricky to create this purple sunset sky on the ceiling: it has to be both soothing and stimulating for the little girl who inhabits this bedroom. Enjoy the days, and minimize the daze, please.
Color me Primary
We are blessed to experience beautiful, bright, crisp fall days here by the Bay…blue skies, liquid gold sunshine, sparkle, and the red edge of Autumn. The primary triangle is everywhere we look, filling us with restlessness and energy. We know the earth is preparing for hibernation, but we feel crisp and alert.
Hallway Heat: Purple Can be Hot
We revel in the heat of Indian Summer, with its rich expression of color…golden sun, sinking into brilliant orange and then deeper purple, at the end of the day. The air feels hot, and the colors seem to burn. Our perception of color can actually cause us to feel a 5-7% degree of difference in our body temperature. Color Power made manifest.
Hot Ceiling: Color Power
During conditions of Rain, Fog, Overcast… so common Ocean-side, we can use some Hot Color to Warm us UP!
Compliments of Royalty
No accident that the complements of gold (yellow) and purple (violet) are the colors of royalty. The juxtaposition of the complements does not lull us to sleep, it wakes us up, with a sharp edge of contrast: the zing of citrus and the sweetness of plums. Complementary couples, much like cymbals, clash together to “make a joyful noise”. We are startled awake, and though the earth may be settling down for a long snooze, we wake up, we are enlivened, we know we are alive.
Viva Les Colours!
