World Premiere! Considerations

Definitely a phenomenon which must always take into account in its own color and the Simultaneous Contrast , or the visual effect that is created when they approach two or more colors.

say, more specifically, that our retina sees in a different color when you draw near to each other.

Let's start with an example: If we look intently at a red object for a few minutes, our "red receptors, in the retina, struggle. If we shift our gaze on a white wall will see the outline of the object that we set earlier, without the red (receptors tired!), And then color green (its complement). This phenomenon, called specifically CONTRAST FOLLOWING , but it can clarify our ideas on the mechanisms of simultaneous contrast.

draw a red square. Let's look. We are aware of the fact that receptors in our retina connected to the color red are overworked and then, by contrast, we tend to perceive better the wavelength of green (the complement).

Now draw a green square.

Accostiamoli.

you perceive a strange "vibrating" between these two colors? The wind has an orange and blue logo just because it tries to draw your attention using the same "vibration."

is the simultaneous contrast, or red square "load" optically near the square is green, what color will appear more "intense" than that if you draw it without turning the red square. And vice versa! That is, the green box, will load its complementary approached, the red square.

joining two complementary colors, then creates a game of perception in the retina that receptors in our eyes go to load the two colors side by side each other in a continuous stress.

said, it is clear, however, that if put together two colors of a similar color range, such as Red and Orange, both are "off" each other, because both will be brought to call on the same receptors in the retina, making you feel better use of their complementary (green). In this case, in fact, it's like approaching a red and orange, and optically metteste automatically, a green filter over them.

This red there seems less combined with an intense green of the former? Yet it is always the same color as before!

This works, of course, with any color. So, down to earth, what is the suggestion? when he put together two or more colors, you are also always looking for "complementary" that are "optically irradiated" by them, to understand each other if the colors are "loaded" or "off."

This speech has a lot to do with the readability of your pages. We

a really simple example:

in one of your cartoon shows a middle field of a forest occupies the entire frame with its shades of green.

simplify things by using a single color, spot color, green.

now the script requires you to get us in the middle of a character, that is, however, be clearly visible from the player. Colored with color that your character?

Green?

or Red?

A couple of examples of application of simultaneous contrast:

Here, the master of masters, using off the characters from the background, precisely, two complementary colors: blue background, and pink-red figures.

In this picture off the background, the characters and title, using, again, two complementary.

the beginning of the post I published, in fact, the logo of the wind because many firms, studying their image, focus on the combination of complementary.

A logo colors Additional combined attracts more precisely in terms of "optical", the observer, compared to a monochrome logo.
