mikkeneko:tsuki-flower: squided: jhenne-bean: forlovefromfear: diasporanpapi: youthful-pills: ichigo-hiyoko: mintymaiden: gildatheplant: Literally any other colour would’ve been a better choice guys. I’d like to point out that the colour red has more positive than negative meanings. im sorry but this reply absolutely killed me red can mean whatever the heck you want it to mean, that is never going to change that this straight up looks like they DRAGGED A BLOODY BODY ACROSS THE FUCKING FLOOR Hi fun fact, colors do have meaning and there is a legit thing called color theory. Red does has more positive connotations than negative like the @mintymaiden said. Red is associated with more love, lust, passion than blood and death just like the chart shows you but If you want, here’s a link for you to check it out yourself. Also, check out “The Designer’s Dictionary of Color” by Sean Adams. Have fun learning something Xoxo -Designer What is Color Theory? I think y’all are missing the point here. You can theorize to Nebraska and back but that doesn’t change my immediate reaction which is that someone is literally dragging a corpse around I like that the presumption here is that “No One On Tumblr Has Heard of Color Theory, Let Me Explain in Depth” rather than simply acknowledging that the VISUAL EFFECTS of this particular color choice, applied in the manner it was, can still amount to “this is a hospital and that looks like blood” like, color theory doesn’t exist in a vacuum. If your design of choice for Blood Red Paint is asymmetric splatters and sploches against the wall, or in this case, a snail trail on the hallway’s floor, an infographic won’t override the viewers’ instinct. OP: this paint job looks like a blood stain Tumblr: actually, according to color theory, it looks like love. To please both sides yellow would have been much happier and uplifting, it also wouldn’t look like a corpus was dragged all over i am begging you to please consider why yellow would actually be just as bad I’ve seen this post a few times, but this time I actually read through the article youthful-pills dropped and I am HOWLING because it doesn’t actually support their point. Color theory isn’t about human associations with color, it’s about the way colors work with each other and form. (It’s the reason you know to mix yellow and blue paint to make green, and the reason my elementary school used purple and yellow as its colors for a pleasant contrast.)And reading the article it SAYS THAT! It doesn’t say anything about whatever these people are talking about. The closest it gets is a throwaway sentence that says “That’s why you must also design to meet your market’s expectations geographically. For example, blue—an industry standard for banking in the West—also has positive associations in other cultures. However, some colors can evoke contradictory feelings from certain nationalities (e.g., red: good fortune in China, mourning in South Africa, danger/sexiness in the USA).”Which A) is about cultural implications, not something inherent to the colors, B) is different from color theory (note the use of the phrase “you must also”), and C) lists more negative than positive meanings for the color red.
