Shadows are reddish-brown, not gray

An earth-toned space where shadows carry earthy hues, not gray. All dark areas are not neutral gray: the shadows of ochre-yellow walls are a deeper reddish-brown, the shadows of terracotta floors are dark terracotta red, and the dark sides of wood are deep brown. This is because all surrounding surfaces are warm-toned, and the reflected ambient light tints the shadows with the same hue. No blue-gray shadows can be found in the image. Avoid: having shadows appear blue-gray and cool purple, using cool white fill light causing inconsistent color temperature, deepening dark areas into neutral black, adding cool-toned reflective surfaces in the space.

一個陰影帶著土色的大地暖調空間。所有的暗部都不是中性灰:赭黃牆的陰影是深一階的紅褐、赤陶地面的陰影是暗陶紅、木頭的暗面是深棕。這是因為周圍所有的表面都是暖色的,反射的環境光把陰影染上同一個色相。畫面裡找不到藍灰色的陰影。避免:讓陰影呈現藍灰與冷紫、使用冷白的補光造成色溫不一致、把暗部加深成中性黑、在空間裡加入冷色的反射面。
