![]() ![]() The preference for cool or warm light depends on the color of the environment's indoor surface. Cool white light reduced the warmth of color and increased brightness in all three color environments compared to warm light. The blue wall reduced brightness and increased attractiveness of environment compared to white wall. The participants have experienced higher levels of tension, anger, depression, anxiety and lower levels of visual comfort, attractiveness, brightness and calmness of environment in the red condition than to white in both state of light. They were asked to judge the visual perception and mood of three types of workspace that were designed by colors of white, red, blue, and lights of a cool and warm white in the random six sessions. Thirty-three healthy male participants were recruited. The aim of this study was to investigate the simultaneous effects of warm/cool white light on visual perception and mood in a simulated colored workspace. The visual and psychological effects of color and light of each have been studied separately and widely. Using a specific colour, as you asked initially, is a good way to end up with a picture which doesn’t work.Color and light are two ambient attributes for interior spaces that can be used in the design and modification of workspaces. Look really carefully, to see how the colours in the scene compare, asking yourself “What is the temperature of the light? “is this area warm, or cool? How warm? How cool? (and having decided, then…) What colours do I need to show, amd emphasise that? And how light or dark is it compared to that part?” and so on. If you train yourself to look hard at the lights, and the shadows, and try to analyse the colours carefully rather than use a formula (ok, there is sunshine so I will make all my shadows blue), then you will be OK. A nearby orange brick wall may throw some orange into the shadow. So much will depend on what is in the subject … a red apple on a white cloth may throw a reddish colour down onto the white, for example. ![]() However, The colour of those shadows will need careful observation. Sunlight falling onto white will warm the white, making it creamy-coloured, or even slightly pink (depending on the time of day) and the shadows will be blue or purple.Ĭool light falling onto white will mean that the white will appear a cool, bluish-white, and the shadows will be warmer. I hope you can understand the distinction. If there is cool light in the scene – an overcast day, or a fluorescent light, then the lit parts will be coolER, and the shadow parts will be warmER. if there is sunlight in the scene, or warm light from a spotlight, then the shadow of the object will be cool, and MAY contain blues or purples – particularly if the shadow falls on something white….However, if the shadow is falling on a red cloth, for example, there may be very little actual blue in the shadow, the shadow will be much more a dark, cool red (moving towards purple and blue), while the warmly lit areas will be more of a hot red – orangey red. The general principle of cool light, warm shadow warm light, cool shadow, is a good one to bear in mind. Also a lot depends on what the shadow is falling on! So much depends on what is NEXT to, or surrounding, a colour, that will affects its warmth, or coolness. Ead, it is not quite as simple as NAMING a colour for you to use. ![]()
