A color story at the simplest is a collection of colors, patterns, textures, and art that define your space and reflect a portion of your life. Colors have been proven to affect mood. The way in which you are putting together your color story is showing the world who you are. A good color story is important because it can enhance the mood and feeling of your space.
When was the last time you were inspired by hotel art or a blank wall? If leaving a positive impression is important to your space, then defining your color story is a must. We look too Fredrick Law Olmstead for inspiration. One of the famous designers guiding principles was “beauty can enhance human nature.” Being able to shape the mood and energy of your space through art and color will make a memorable impression to anyone who encounters your space.
When looking to define your color story it’s important to look at how colors contrast with each other. If you have something like a nice Opera Glasses Teal as the base color of your wall in your dining room, then a pop of orange would work well in the artwork you choose to hang. A bright green accent for a piece of furniture would also be a nice touch to make the color experience resonate for your guests. It’s important that you have a nice contrast between your light values and saturation to give a balanced yet immersive experience to your space.
Color theory and the practical application of how it balances to your space is what makes your color story unique. Defining a color story involves taking into account the layout of your space, the layers of color already involved, and the goals you have. What do you want people to feel when walking into the space?
