Cooking Recipes

4.
A COLOUR SYSTEM THAT CARRIES
THE RECOGNISABLE SIGNATURE OF THE ARTIST
OR THE DESIGNER BRINGS ABOUT A PALETTE OF
COLOURS WITH A CHARACTER. RIGID COLOUR
TABLES CAN ONLY OFFER RIGID COLOUR
COMBINATIONS.
2.
ONE COLOUR IS NO COLOUR.
ONLY WHEN COLOURS ARE SEEN IN
RELATION TO EACH OTHER DOES THE REAL
QUALITY OF EACH COLOUR SURFACE. SMALL
CHANGES CAN HAVE DRAMATIC
EFFECTS.

A COLOUR
COLLECTION IS AN
ENSEMBLE OF COLOUR,
MATERIAL AND SIZE. WHETHER
A SURFACE IS SHINY OR MATT,
LARGE OR SMALL DETERMINES
HOW LOUDLY SOMETHING
SHOUTS OR HOW SOFTLY
IT WHISPERS.

We open our eyes and
all we see are colours – a palette of
colours in which we subsequently recognise
images, people and objects.
5.
A colour composed of
layers keeps a colour
fascinating. You have to blink twice.
Is that surface red? Or is it grey? It does
not look the same in the morning as it
does in the evening, or in winter
and summer.
