An Exception in Color: Small Areas of Dark Green and Deep Red

Two exceptions in a nearly colorless space. Dark green appears on a leather desk surface, a lampshade, or the painted surface of a louvered door; dark red appears as the background color of a thin rug or on the spines of a few books. Both colors have very low saturation and dark lightness, almost appearing as dark tones between white and dark wood. Their combined area is less than ten percent. Avoid: using bright green and red, painting walls in color, adding a third color, allowing colored areas to expand and dominate the scene.

一個幾乎沒有顏色的空間裡的兩個例外。深綠出現在書桌的皮革桌面、一盞燈罩、或一片百葉門的漆面上;暗紅出現在一張薄地毯的底色或幾本書的書背上。兩者的彩度都很低、明度很暗,在白與深木之間幾乎被當成深色。面積加起來不到一成。避免:使用鮮豔的綠與紅、把牆面漆成彩色、加入第三種彩色、讓彩色的面積擴大到主導畫面。
