Achromatic: Only wood tones and gray

A space with an extremely narrow color palette. The entire room features only three colors: the light yellowish-white of wood, the warm gray of earthen walls, and the deep gray to near-black of a small amount of stone and ironwork. There are no other colors—no blue, no green, no red; even textiles are undyed natural colors. The only exceptions are the single seasonal flower in the alcove and a clump of green outside the window in the courtyard, both extremely small in area but, due to the completely achromatic surroundings, they become the only colors in the scene. Thus, the change of seasons is the only thing that will alter this space. Avoid: adding any colorful soft furnishings or decorations, using dyed textiles, enlarging the proportion of plants, allowing too great a color difference between the wood and earthen walls.

一個色彩範圍極窄的空間。全室只有三個顏色:木的淺黃白、土壁的暖灰、以及少量石與鐵件的深灰近黑。沒有任何彩色——沒有藍、沒有綠、沒有紅,連織品都是未染的原色。唯一的例外是壁龕裡那一枝當季的花與窗外庭院的一叢綠,面積極小但因為周圍完全無彩,它們成為畫面中唯一的顏色。因此季節的變化是這個空間唯一會改變的東西。避免:加入任何彩色的軟裝與裝飾、使用染色的織品、把植物的比例放大、讓木色與土壁的顏色差距過大。
