Color in Depth

A color direction becomes more useful when it includes the surface texture and the materials around it.

References to explore

Build a small comparison.

Explore a gold, a gray and a blue direction. These are separate references to consider, not a prescribed matching palette.

Editorial comparison only. Review color, texture and reflection with physical samples; confirm the finish system for the intended application.

Open your material board
01

Compare a small set first

Begin with a focused shortlist rather than a large collection of unrelated samples. Label the preferred direction and the alternatives.

02

Keep color and finish separate in the discussion

Two samples can share a color direction while presenting different textures. Record which quality you are selecting so the next person reviewing the scheme understands the decision.

03

Review the palette across applications

Consider how the selection relates to both the wall plane and the furniture forms. Each application can use the same library while bringing its own substrate questions.
