Ochre Yellow: The Most Common Wall Color

An ochre-yellow earthen wall. The color is a medium-light yellow with a brownish tint, like dry loess, neither vibrant nor muddy. The surface has variations in depth and shade from hand-troweling, with corners and less illuminated areas appearing slightly darker. Under warm light, this color leans orange; under natural light, it is more earthy yellow. It is the largest color in the entire space, occupying 40-50% of the frame. Avoid: using vibrant mustard yellow and lemon yellow, making the color uniform and flat like paint, making the color too light and turning it beige, adding a second wall color in the same space.

一面赭黃色的土質牆。顏色是帶褐的中明度黃,像乾燥的黃土,不鮮豔也不混濁;表面有手抹造成的深淺不勻,靠近角落與光線不足處顏色略深。在暖光下這個顏色會偏橘,在自然光下偏土黃。它是整個空間面積最大的顏色,佔畫面的四到五成。避免:使用鮮豔的芥末黃與檸檬黃、讓顏色均勻平整像油漆、把顏色調得太淺變成米色、在同一空間加入第二種牆面顏色。
