A Deep Tone: Cocoa or Mocha

A contemporary light luxury space where a single dark color anchors the scene. The overall tone is a light, warm cream and oat, with only one distinct dark area: a cocoa-colored velvet armchair, a mocha-colored wool rug, or a section of smoked wood facade. This dark color still belongs to the same warm brown hue, but is three or four shades lower in lightness. It occupies about ten to twenty percent of the image, positioned at the focal point of the gaze. Avoid: using black and cool gray as dark colors, dispersing the dark color to multiple locations, adding dark colors of different hues, making the dark area too large and making the space feel heavy.

一個用單一深色壓住畫面的當代輕奢空間。整體是奶油與燕麥的淺暖調,只有一處是明顯的深色:一張可可色絲絨的單椅、一塊摩卡色的羊毛地毯,或是一段煙燻木的立面。這個深色仍然屬於同一個暖褐色相,只是明度低了三四階。面積約佔畫面的一到兩成,位置在視線的落點上。避免:使用黑色與冷灰作為深色、讓深色分散到多個位置、加入不同色相的深色、讓深色的面積過大讓空間變沉。
