The Science of Color and Light

Coatings

The Science of Color and Light

Color and light are two of the most fundamental, yet powerful tools available to architects and interior design professionals. Used effectively, color can express an individual’s personality, convey a business’ brand essence and infuse meaning into a cultural institution’s mission. Yet color is entirely dependent on its accompanying light source to come to life. This white paper provides an overview of the properties of color and light, along with practical guidance on how the relationship between the two affects design choices.
