The Only Dark: A Touch of Light Cocoa or Warm Brown

A dark element that grounds the image. Only one item in the entire space has a significantly lower brightness: a light cocoa-colored leather armchair, a warm brown wool rug, or a dark ceramic pot. Its color is still a warm brown tone, not black or gray; its area is small but sufficient to provide a reference for the other light colors. It is usually placed in the lower half of the image. Avoid: using black and dark gray to create contrast, having more than two dark objects, using dark colors on walls, using cool-toned dark colors.

一件把畫面壓住的深色。整個空間只有一樣東西的明度明顯低:一張淺可可色的皮革單椅、一塊暖褐的羊毛地毯、或一個深色的陶罐。它的顏色仍然是暖的褐調,不是黑也不是灰;面積不大但足以讓其餘的淺色有參照。它通常放在畫面的下半部。避免:使用黑色與深灰製造對比、讓深色物件超過兩件、把深色用在牆面上、使用冷調的深色。
