Red and Green: Two Traditional Colors

A mountain lodge space incorporating traditional colors. Red is a deep, dark brick red or wine red, appearing on wool blankets, cushions, and checkered fabrics; green is a deep forest green, appearing on the painted surface of an old wooden chair or a piece of textile. Both colors have low saturation and very low lightness, appearing half-absorbed against the dark wood background. Their areas are very small. Avoid: using bright primary red and grass green; making the colored areas too large; painting the walls in color; adding a third color.

一個加入傳統色的山屋空間。紅是深而暗的磚紅或酒紅,出現在羊毛毯、坐墊與格紋布上;綠是深沉的森林綠,出現在一張老木椅的漆面或一片織品上。兩者的彩度不高、明度很低,在深色木頭的背景上像被吸收了一半。面積都很小。避免:使用鮮豔的正紅與草綠、讓彩色的面積過大、把牆面漆成彩色、加入第三種彩色。
