Color Phenomena in Summer Season

The human eye is inevitably drawn to lustrous surfaces. We are fascinated and intrigued by colors that appear to undulate, change, glimmer, radiate, or shimmer.

Seeking equilibrium is a natural human longing, whether it be physically,spiritually, aesthetically, or emotionally. The ancient Chinese were very aware of this need that they called the balance of yin and yang. In more scientific terms, this balanced state of ease, as opposed to dis-ease, is referred to as homeostasis. Interestingly, these amazing bodies that we inhabit contain a mechanism that always provides an instant visual balance. 

When a cool color is viewed, the after-image will always be a warm color. Conversely a warm color will always ba balanced by a cool colored after-image. Although we have no conscious awareness of this colorful balancing act that is going on within us, our eyes will seek out a touch of warming color in a too-cool environment. The sight of the radiating hot flames in the fireplace warms out psyches as well as our bodies. In a room full of warm colors, we welcome the sight and suggestion of refreshing greenery. 

Our innate, restorative powers swing into gear when we turn the color temperature down. This is especially important in our living and working environments where we are so totally immersed (or not) in color.
