Metallic colors are the third color, not an accent

An Art Deco room where metallic colors are a formal part of the color scheme, not just an accent. Besides a dark base and a saturated color, polished brass or chrome is a distinct third color, distributed throughout the space's linear system: horizontal decorative bands on wainscoting, cabinet door divisions, furniture edging, lamp frames, floor inlays. They form a visible network. Avoid: treating metal only as scattered hardware accents, mixing two metallic colors, using matte metals that lose their luster, having a metal distribution without geometric logic.

一個把金屬視為正式配色的裝飾藝術房間。除了深色的底與一個飽和色之外,拋光的黃銅或鍍鉻是明確的第三個顏色,分佈在整個空間的線條系統裡:護牆的水平飾帶、櫃門的分割、家具的包邊、燈具的骨架、地坪的嵌線。它們連成一個看得見的網。避免:把金屬只當成零星的五金點綴、混用兩種金屬顏色、使用霧面的金屬失去光澤、讓金屬的分佈沒有幾何邏輯。
