COLOUR THEORY IN RELATIONS TO EMOTIONS
AND ASSOCIATIONS
Examples of contextual theories
“Colour theory is both the science and art of
using colour . It explains how humans
perceive colour and ; the visual effects of how
colour mix, match or contrast with each other.
Colour theory also involves the messages
colour communicate and in uences; and the
methods used to replicate colour”
“Light and darkness, brightness and
obscurity, or if a more general expression
is preferred, light and its absence, one
necessary to the production of colour. . .
colour itself is a degree of darkness.’’
