Terracotta Red and Rust Orange: The Fired Tier

A set of earthy warm tones: terracotta red and rust orange. Terracotta red is the color of fired terracotta bricks, darker, with a hint of gray and a slight purple undertone; rust orange is the color of oxidized iron, brighter and a bit more saturated. Both appear on terracotta bricks on the floor and one or two textile items, occupying about 20% of the frame. They are one step darker than the ochre yellow walls, providing weight. Avoid: using vibrant true orange and true red, letting these two colors exceed 30% of the area, using them for large-area wall painting, adding cool reds like pink and fuchsia.

一組陶紅與鏽橘的大地暖調配色。陶紅是赤陶磚燒製後的顏色,偏暗、帶灰、略有紫調;鏽橘則是氧化鐵的顏色,更亮更飽和一點。兩者出現在地面的赤陶磚與一兩件織品上,面積約佔畫面的兩成。它們比赭黃的牆深一階,提供重量。避免:使用鮮豔的正橘與正紅、讓這兩個顏色的面積超過三成、把它們用在牆面大面積塗刷、加入粉紅與桃色等偏冷的紅。
