Four Tiers of the Same Hue: Creating Depth with One Color

An earthy warm-toned room layered with a single hue. All colors are within the ochre-brown hue, but with four levels of lightness: the ceiling is lightest, the walls are medium, woodwork and furniture are one step darker, and a textile is darkest. There is no difference in hue between the four, only in lightness and texture. Because the hue is singular, the space is very unified, distinguishing different surfaces by lightness and roughness. Avoid: adding a second hue, making the four lightness levels too similar to distinguish layers, using different colors to separate areas, adding contrasting colors as accents.

一個只用單一色相分層的大地暖調房間。全部的顏色都是赭褐這一個色相,但有四個明度:天花最淺、牆面中等、木作與家具深一階、一件織品最深。四者之間沒有色相的差別,只有明暗與質地。因為色相單一,空間非常統一,靠明度與粗糙度區分不同的面。避免:加入第二個色相、讓四個明度太接近分不出層次、用不同的顏色來分隔區域、加入對比色作為點綴。
