Color Transforms

Lights. Beautiful, colorful, pretty lights. During Halloween and especially Christmas. The time of Christmas brings so much joy to me not only because of awesome presents and family gatherings but also because of the gorgeous decorations, lit up trees, and the exteriors of homes. In his book Interaction of Color, Josef Albers says," it is impossible to see color by itself and not interacting with its surroundings." I agree. All of the marvelous colors blend so well giving so many homes a different style and personality. Color shapes design and can be such a deciding point in obtaining and luring in clients. Let’s face it, looks do matter, and color plays a huge impact upon it. When you come home from fall finals, you come across so many different decorated homes. Each decorated home represents so many different personalities. Each home can say a lot about a family. Some homes use the typical yellow lights, just that one color. Others use green, yellow, and red. Others go all out using blue, indigo, and many other colors. Those homes are the ones that capture your attention the most. You think about it and come up with an idea about that family. The decorations bring out character and reflect upon the family that designed it. What distinguishes a house with just one colored lights from one with extraordinary, beautifully decorated homes? Color. That’s why prizes are not given to the blandest home. Prizes are given to the most brilliantly decorated homes, usually one with many different colors.
