Rainbow Colour (Colour Design in 2 & 3 Dimension)

Rainbow Colour (Colour Design in 2 & 3 Dimension)


Rainbow colours:

  1. Red
  2. Orange
  3. Yellow
  4. Green
  5. Blue
  6. Indigo
  7. Violet



For the first task I am required to prove a statement made by Carl Jung, a colour psychologist by showing images to confirm of such phenomenon. His statement is as of follows:

Lights and colour can influence how people perceive the area around them. Different light sources affect how the colours of walls and other objects are seen. Specific hues of colours seen under natural sunlight may vary when seen under the light from an incandescent (tungsten) light-bulb: lighter colours may appear to be more orange or "brownish" and darker colours may appear even darker. Light and the colour of an object can affect how one perceives its positioning. If light or shadow, or the colour of the object, masks an object's true contour (outline of a figure) it can appear to be shaped differently from reality. Objects under a uniform light-source will promote better impression of a three-dimensional shape. The colour of an object may affect whether or not it seems to be in motion. In particular, the trajectories of objects under a light source whose intensify varies with space are more difficult to determine than identical objects under a uniform light source. This could possibly be interpreted as interference between motion and colour perception, both of which are more difficult under variable lighting. 


Specific hues of colours seen under natural sunlight may vary when seen under the light from an incandescent (tungsten) light-bulb: lighter colours may appear to be more orange or "brownish" and darker colours may appear even darker.


fig.1

The picture above shows 2 variation of an image that is taken with 2 different settings the one on the left is taken using a tungsten light source and the one on the right is taken using the natural sunlight that is emitted from a nearby window. As the image indicates the colour under the effect of a tungsten light bulb is slightly yellowish while the one under natural sunlight has a more clear colour tone.

Light and the colour of an object can affect how one perceives its positioning


fig.2


This statement says that lights and colours affect how the eyes sees an object's positioning (front or back). Depending the the tone of the light on a particular object's surface, the human brain can perceive the positioning or the direction the object is facing. The closer the object is towards the light source the tone of the colours are much brighter than those which are further. 

If light or shadow, or the colour of the object, masks an object's true contour (outline of a figure) it can appear to be shaped differently from reality

fig.4

Contour drawing only draws out the outline of a certain figure creating a image. When colour is used for this the object will looks disoriented (figure 3).


Objects under a uniform light-source will promote better impression of a three-dimensional shape



fig.6


A uniform light source is able to print a static shadow therefore allows the eyes to accurately pinpoint the edges of the object, the height of the object using the shadow and the surface of the object by the tone of the colour on the object.

The colour of an object may affect whether or not it seems to be in motion.

fig.8

When an object is in motion the colour of the object starts to create a kind of blurry effect also known as motion blur. That blur effect only exist if the object is moving extremely quick or a camera with a slow settings.

In particular, the trajectories of objects under a light source whose intensify varies with space are more difficult to determine than identical objects under a uniform light source. This could possibly be interpreted as interference between motion and colour perception, both of which are more difficult under variable lighting. 


fig.9

Similar objects becomes different when they are in motion due to the "interference between motion and colour perception" where when one object is moving under a light source the tone and shadow changes with the positioning of the object changes how the eyes interpret the object shape and colour with an identical object.
