Texture instead of color: same color, different feel

Neutral surfaces distinguished by texture. All are oatmeal-colored, but the sofa is a coarse-woven thick cotton-linen, the throw pillow is short-pile velvet, the rug is hand-knotted coarse wool, and the curtains are fine, thin linen sheer. All are gray, but the wall is a matte plaster, the floor is matte stone, and the table legs are matte black metal. In the photo, their hues are almost identical; what separates them are reflections and fibers. Avoid: creating layers through color differences, using glossy silk and satin, using the same weave for all textiles, adding patterns to create variation.

一組靠手感區分的中性面。同樣是燕麥色,沙發是粗織的厚棉麻、抱枕是短毛的絨、地毯是手工結的粗羊毛、窗簾是細薄的亞麻紗;同樣是灰,牆是平光的抹灰、地是霧面的石、桌腳是霧黑的金屬。在照片裡它們的色相幾乎一樣,分開它們的是反光與纖維。避免:靠顏色差異製造層次、使用有光澤的絲與緞、讓所有織品使用同一種編織、加入圖案來製造變化。
