Color theory to enhance the illusion of “light”
What’s the ‘true color’ of the house?
It depends on the time of day and the weather
The ‘real’ color doesn’t exist independently of the light
Claude Monet painted ‘white marble’ on the Rouen Cathedral in different times of day, showing that color doesn’t exist independently of the light
Since color is “relative,” we use warm and cool versions of each color to enhance the feeling of “light”
Chromatic scale to enhance the illusion of “light”
Lighter b/w value in the light
Brighter intensity in the light
Warmer (orangey) red in the light (vs bluer purplish) in the shadow
Chromatic scale
• Light to dark• Bright to dull• Warm to cool
Black and white is the “value” of the color

the variety of warm and cool
John Singer Sargent
Paul Gauguin

The “language of light”
Monochromatic color schemes enhance a particular mood
Wolan Huang
“Theatrical” light: spotlight, cast shadow, metallic glow
(Johannes Vermeer, 1665)
Glowing, mystical, supernatural light - the light isn't falling on the flower, the light is coming from it. It is the source of the light.
Georgia O'Keefe
Matthias Grünewald Isenheim Altarpiece 1615
