![]() ![]() Interior Design Trends: Shades of Pink & BluePrint this page
Yes, shades of pink are soft and a bit feminine. Why is pink viewed as feminine? When you really sit down and ponder on that question, it is rather a good question to ask yourself, It doesn't have to be feminine, but since it is viewed that way, and society helps along this concept, here we are. Personally, I never was big on the color pink, but as I became an adult I found myself loving pink and all of it's many shades. It isn't that bad, it is a rather soothing and happy hue. So, today I bring you shades of pink. What are your thoughts on pink?
With all of this warm weather I find myself thinking of the beach and the beautiful ocean. Though some oceans do not appear to be blue, I associate blue with the ocean and vice versa. Well, I felt that it was only fitting to share with you shades of blue. I chose a selection of fun and tasteful items that made me happy. Do you enjoy shades of blue? Read the full post3 July, 2009 1

Three out of the four topics in today's post came from the colorful blog that deserves some love, today and tomorrow.
Akiyoshi Kitaoka’s incredible optical illusion website
Via @colourlovers; the best color illusion... posted first at Akiyoshi Kitaoka’s incredible optical illusion website and found over at Discover Magazine's blog.
"You see embedded spirals, right, of green, pinkish-orange, and blue? Incredibly, the green and the blue spirals are the same color. At first I thought Richard was pulling our collective legs, being a trickster of high magnitude. So I loaded the image in Photoshop and examined the two spirals. In the two squares displayed below, the one on the left is colored using the same color from the blue spiral, and on the right using the green spiral."

Salmon is a great and fun color which is rarely used and seen. It is a nice change and a great way liven things up a bit, while also softening a look as well. Do you like the color salmon and are you currently using it in your home?

Creating interaction through the experimentation of new media and physical computing, the Shanghai Based 'multi-discipline design company,' Super Nature makes things that make me wish I could experience them first hand. And though I suspect the images do them no justice, the videos provided on their site for each of their projects can at least give us a secondhand look at the imaginative color interaction of their installations.
C.C.C. is a synthesis structure of color terminology and new vision of geometrical forms that could be perceived as a visual metaphor through time, space and the sense of movement. It uses water as a medium for visual display as water is a common chemical substance that is essential for the survival of all known forms of life. A simple visual form could be articulated by extending the “color wave” and forms a three dimensional form within a liquid space. Through user interaction, color, sound and form transformation are synchronized with the kinematic movements that controlled by the user’s hand movement. For more information: C.C.C.
