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.
