Deep Greens and Browns: The Two Main Colors

A dark academic space composed of deep green and deep brown as the two main colors. Deep dark green is used for wall paint, wainscoting, and some textiles; deep brown is the color of woodwork, bookshelves, leather, and flooring. Both have very low luminosity, almost blending together in low light, only distinguishable where light falls. All other colors are variations in shade of these two colors. Avoid: using bright and highly saturated colors, adding large areas of white and light colors, making the luminosity of the two colors too high, adding a third hue.

一個以深綠與深褐構成的黑暗學院空間。深墨綠用在牆面的漆、護牆板與部分的織品上;深褐是木作、書櫃、皮革與地板的顏色。兩者的明度都很低,在低照度下幾乎融在一起,只有在光照到的地方才分得出來。其餘的顏色都是這兩色的深淺變化。避免:使用明亮與高彩度的顏色、加入白色與淺色的大面積、讓兩色的明度過高、加入第三種色相。
