10.1 Participation and Discussion: Analysis

• What are some of the reasons why color could help or hinder the early design process?

• Answer: Adding color helps me understand how its value is expressed for its mood and illustration. Defining the focal point of visual emphasis on a sketch is important to make colors stand out giving clients the ability to figure out what colors will work for every space. Adding complements such as primary, secondary, and tertiary colors help us visualize its hue and reduce saturation. Adding richer darks to a lighter value will balance the hue in a way that will work together for both cool and warm colors.
