Do You See What I See?

An interesting documentary by the BBC on colour!

As interior designers it's interesting to see how we all perceive colour differently and how, as we know, colour can impact people’s lives. As Designers we have the ability to influence how people react and interact within spaces and environments which we design through planning, materials, products and of course, colour. It was fascinating to also see how colour is embedded into our psyche and inherently in tune with our ‘body clock’ – did you know that blue seemingly makes time speed up? The documentary shows how our perception of colour can be influenced by age, gender, mood, language range/ability, education and personal experiences.

"Your eye doesn’t simply see color — your brain creates it by drawing on knowledge of what things should look like.”
