A dark anchor point: grounding the light space

A dark anchor. In a predominantly light space, there is one item with extremely low luminosity that grounds the image: a large dark charcoal sofa, a dark wood door-wall, or a near-black rug. Its area is not large, but its luminosity is the lowest, preventing the remaining light colors from feeling floaty. It is usually placed in the center of the space or the lower half of the visual field. Avoid: using multiple dark objects to disperse the weight, placing dark objects on walls with artwork, allowing the dark area to be large enough to dominate the space, using high-saturation dark colors such as dark blue and burgundy.

一個深色的重量。在整體偏淺的空間裡,有一件明度極低的東西把畫面壓住:一張深炭色的大沙發、一片深色木的門牆、或一塊近黑的地毯。它的面積不大但明度最低,讓其餘的淺色不至於飄。它通常放在空間的中央或視覺的下半部。避免:使用多個深色物件分散重量、把深色放在有作品的牆面上、讓深色的面積大到主導空間、使用高彩度的深色如深藍與酒紅。
