What’s the ‘true color’ of the house?

Monet painted ‘white marble’ on the Rouen Cathedral in different times of day, showing that color doesn’t exist independently of the light

Since color is “relative,” we use warm and cool versions of each color to enhance the feeling of “light”

Chromatic scale to enhance the illusion of “light”

Lighter b/w value in the light

Brighter intensity in the light

Warmer (orangey) red in the light (vs bluer purplish) in the shadow

• This isn’t a ‘rule,’ it’s a ‘recipe’ to enhance the illusion of ‘light’

Chromatic scale

• Light to dark• Bright to dull• Warm to cool
