How to enhance your perception of color and apply it to creative projects?

The ability to handle and understand color is crucial in any creative project. As you become more exposed to color, you develop a special sensitivity that translates into more harmonious and attractive visual compositions. This knowledge is enriched when combined with seasonal color psychology, allowing you to create palettes that evoke specific emotions. Want to know how to take your color skills to the next level? Here we go!

What is seasonal color psychology?

Seasonal color psychology classifies colors according to their "temperature" and how they affect human emotions. It is mainly divided into:

• Winter: cold and deep colors.
• Summer: Cool and soft colors.
• Spring: Warm and luminous colors.
• Autumn: Warm and earthy colors.

This classification helps you select and manipulate colors that resonate emotionally with the viewer, adapting the combinations to the season you wish to evoke.

How to perform a color experiment in your projects?

Performing color experiments is essential to understanding and applying color theories. Here is a practical method:

1. Choose an inspirational image: Find an image that is not clearly pigeonholed into a season-perhaps something from your Instagram feed?

2. Analyze the composition: Identify the predominant color and determine if it's warm or cool, as that will be your starting point.

3. Adjust colors: Start modifying key colors, following the example of how a deep violet can be transformed into a cooler blue.

4. Check color contrast: Experiment with unexpected combinations, such as placing blue over magenta, which can enrich the composition if handled well.
