A Touch of White: Only in Textiles and Plaster

A mountain lodge interior with very little white. White appears in only two places: the off-white of textiles such as bed sheets and tablecloths, and localized whitewashed wall surfaces or the inside of window openings. The total area of these whites is less than 10% of the image, but because the surroundings are all dark wood, they become prominent bright spots and allow some light to be reflected. Avoid: whitewashing large areas of walls; using white cabinets and furniture; letting the white area exceed 20%; using cool-toned pure white.

一個白色極少的山屋室內。白只出現在兩個地方:床單與桌布等織品的米白,以及局部抹白的牆面或窗洞內側。這些白的面積加起來不到畫面的一成,但因為周圍全是深色木,它們成為明顯的亮點,也讓光可以被反射一點。避免:把牆面大面積刷白、使用白色的櫃體與家具、讓白色的面積超過兩成、使用冷調的純白。
