Earth Tones: Gradients from Sand to Ochre

Soil Color Palette: A Gradient from Sand to Ochre
A space where all colors are derived from soil. The color range is continuous: the lightest is the sandy white of the walls, followed by the oatmeal of the floor, then the camel of textiles, the light brown of furniture, the ochre yellow of pottery, and the deepest item is a reddish-brown close to terracotta. The hues of these colors all fall within a narrow range of yellow-orange, with very low saturation, differing only in lightness, so the space appears monochromatic but with clear depth of shade. There is no green, blue, or purple. Variation comes from materials—the matte finish of mineral paint, the semi-gloss of wood, the roughness of clay, the plushness of wool. The green of plants is the only exception.
Avoid: Adding cool tones and high-chroma colors, making all colors the same lightness, using pure white and pure black, reducing material differences.

一個色彩全部取自土壤的空間。顏色的範圍是連續的:最淺的是牆面的沙白、其次是地板的燕麥、再來是織品的駝、家具的淺褐、陶器的赭黃、以及最深的一件物件是接近赤陶的紅褐。這些顏色的色相全部落在黃橘的窄幅範圍內,彩度都很低,只有明度的差異,因此空間看起來是單一色系但有清楚的深淺層次。沒有任何綠、藍與紫。變化來自材質——礦物塗料的霧面、木材的半光、陶土的粗糙、羊毛的絨面。植物的綠是唯一的例外。避免:加入冷色調與高彩度的顏色、讓所有顏色的明度相同、使用純白與純黑、把材質的差異減少。
