How obvious it is that color has its various connotations-hue, value, and intensity - and without the basic understanding of these three determining factors, we are somewhat limited in the proper use of color in rooms.

Training the eye is the most important way to gain an appreciation and understanding of good design in busienss management.

I suppose the most marked example of color as structure is in the Byzantine use of mosaic decoration that becomes architecture. The decoration of the interiors so related to the form that they fuse. In less elaborate interior design this is always the ideal approach to color - used not only as just color alone.

The easiest approach to any strong color is to use a lot of it, thus unifying a room. However, beware of too many strong colors unless you happen to like living on a battlefield.

Remember, color is not just color, but mood, temperature and structure.

Too many bright colors make for congestion. Too many bright colors need, above all, contrast in value, to eliminate vibration.

There is nothing more trite than a period room imposed on a contemporary setting.
