INTD 53 color & light color is the result of light…different types of illumination—sunlight, twilight, candlelight, strip lights—create different color effects

shadows time and weather luminosity iridescence luster all are different lighting or surface conditions that ultimately influence the color that we see attention to these details is vital—ask yourself what your material selections will look like in different conditions

shadows created by the absence of light solid objects cast stronger shadows

shadows

time & weather time of day— sunrise, morning, noon, sunset, night season— spring, summer, fall, winter weather— sun, rain, sleet, mist, snow location— Southwest, Arctic, tropics, city, country

luminosity the ability of a color to give a glowing impression seen as the effect of sunlight or snow seen in translucent objects water, sky, sunsets, certain flesh tones, glow of silk…

luminosity

iridescence a shimmering impression opals, mother-of-pearl, soap bubbles, butterfly wings caused by interference of light— refraction or diffraction

luster impression given by subdued light silver more lustrous than pewter silk or satin more lustrous than felt polished wood more lustrous than unfinished wood

color and light color is the result of light different types of illumination—sunlight, twilight, candlelight, strip lights—create different color effects different lighting conditions affect hues in many different ways

color temperature: way of describing the degree of whiteness of a light source sources that produce a bluish white light have a high temperature color sources that produce a yellowish white light have a low color temperature

color temperature: Kelvin— TECHNICAL DEFINITION— as a piece of metal is heated, it changes color from red to yellow to white to blue-white

color temperature:

daylight— quality of light is intense and includes the complete color spectrum in daylight your material will be able to reflect its own special hue of the spectrum sunlight is a yellow-white light—just looks yellow in comparison to the blue sky

color temperature: daylight: daylight is blue white because it is a combination of sunlight and bluish light from the sky blue white light is best for reading true color but not great for skin tones

selecting colors intelligently be sure to look at all surface colors (carpets, walls, furniture, etc..) under the lamp color specified, as well as daylight show clients color board under both sources

participation activity: color board directions: …using the materials in the resource room, create a color board for a room of your choice …explore one or more of the following lighting conditions using your board: shadows time and weather luminosity …write a 2-3 paragraph summary of your exploration and include this with your color board in your portfolio …example: paragraph 1—your aim & technique/protocol paragraph 2—your observations paragraph 3—changes you would make iridescence luster light temperature
