COLOR + BALANCE

- Balance is the relationship of different hues to one another when each is “percieved” to be equal its “percieved” visual weight. It is also a general term used to describe the physical or perceptual state of equality or order of objects within a larger composition.

- There are three types of spatial balances in colors. These types include symmetry, assymetry, and radial.

- When designing with color, one must take into consideration its relationships to the architecture and the design around it. Only them will you have success with designing with color.

- There are four types of color balances that can be achieved through application. These color balances include value contrast, hue balance, intensity contrast, and size of colored area.

- During your color selection process, determine which of your hues is likely to consume more of the visual space. Organize your colors by weight, and assign their location to maximize your effect of increased or decreased volume.
