We look at certain color scenes and they make sense and are balanced…even if we aren’t sure why. I was searching for a palette for a project in my photos and I noticed that the colors in this photo looked early 90s in their full intensity, but when I softened the hue the palette looked quite modern. It is a daunting endeavor to choose color for our homes. Benjamin Moore has a great site for helping you choose color. Here’s the link.

How We See Color (Pantone Color Think Tank)

“The human eye and brain together translate light into color. Light receptors within the eye transmit messages to the brain, which produces the familiar sensations of color.”

Imagine what it would be like to live without our brain and eye’s ability to translate light and color? Try to imagine something very colorful in black and white. It is an interesting brain exercise that just may spark some creativity in the way we perceive all sorts of things in our daily lives.

This is a great site to gain some understanding about how we see color.
