"The perception of colors in an environment."
When choosing colors for a room it's essential to consider how we perceive them to create the desired atmosphere and their interaction with other elements in the space.
To create a sense of spaciousness in a small area it's best to use light and cool colors. Cool colors can create a relaxing feeling, but they can also make the environment appear sad if not balanced with small details of warm colors, which can bring vibrancy to the house.
It's also important to consider how color combinations interact with other elements in the room. For example, mirrors can create a sense of color multiplication.
In 1910, Kandinsky developed a theory of color perception, stating that color is first imagined abstractly and then acquires a specific tone when it's delimited by a surface.
When people enter a place, the first thing they notice is the color. It's an important part of the decor because it can affect the people's perception of the size of the room and the mood of the people in it.
