To select the colors | To select the colors that signify emotions, a research on color psychology is made to better understand the interpretation of colors. The psychological effects of colors on human mood and behavior stem from the electromagnetic radiation of light and are a universal, psychophysical response that is less impacted by factors such as culture, age, and gender than commonly believed. It's important to distinguish between color psychology and color symbolism. Color symbolism refers to the context in which colors are used, while the psychological properties of colors relate to the general moods they evoke in people(Wright, 2008 as cited in Kurt & Osueke, 2014). In the context of this project, the visual aims to transfer the general feeling to viewer by building a layer to distort the reality, rather than putting it inside the limits of an emotion. | ||
Besides the effects of the physical property of colors on human psychology, a couple of studies suggest that humans are hard-wired to understand and interpret certain colors as part of the natural processes that keep the most primitive actions going. Trichromatic color vision, according to Changizi and coworkers (2006), evolved so that primates could detect minute color changes in the skin caused by underlying blood flow. Visual sensitivity to these modulations is thus extremely useful in interpersonal interaction because they reflect the emotion, state, or condition of the perceived mating pairs (as cited in Elliot & Maier, 2014). | |||
I also appreciate the distinction between color psychology and color symbolism. While color symbolism can be influenced more by cultural and contextual factors, color psychology focuses on the inherent emotional and psychological effects of colors. By understanding these effects, the color combinations used in this work can be communicated in a way that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also emotionally representative. By building a layer of color on top of reality, I can create a visual experience that is both familiar and unfamiliar, creating a sense of unease or disorientation in the viewer. This technique allows me to communicate emotions and ideas in a way that goes beyond the limits of traditional representation. | |||
