Gold and White: The Core Combination

An interior composed of gold and white. Large areas are ivory or off-white wainscoting and moldings; gold is hand-applied gold leaf, used only on the protruding parts of moldings, the edges of carvings, and the outlines of frames. Its area is less than 10%, but it is extremely noticeable due to its reflective quality. The surface of the gold leaf is uneven, with visible seams from hand application and localized wear. Avoid: using large areas of gold to cover surfaces, using electroplated and spray-painted uniform gold, making the proportion of gold and white similar, using cool-toned pure white.

一個以金與白構成的室內。大面積是象牙白或乳白的護牆板與線腳;金色是手工貼上的金箔,只用在線腳的凸出處、雕飾的邊緣與框的輪廓上,面積不到一成但因為會反光而極為明顯。金箔的表面不均勻,有手工貼合的接縫與局部的磨損。避免:使用大面積的金色鋪滿表面、使用電鍍與噴漆的均勻金色、讓金與白的比例接近、使用冷調的純白。
