Color



I think that all the colors are beautiful; some more than others and this is the reason why people have a favourite one. In this way, I can say that the color I like above others is red, but the red that is close to burgundy. I like it because I think that it is kind of beautiful. It is a strong color and I like it a lot. About how the color resembles my personality, I really don’t have any idea. I just like it and that's it. Maybe I need a color that makes me look stronger jeje. Maybe because red is the color of love or it gives energy and I need a lot of this; so, I can come everyday to the university for my classes. The thing is that I started to love this color when I saw a red sweater that charmed me and I bought it. Since that day, I really like this color.

Those are images about my kaleidoscope and represent the contrast betwen two strong colors, and how this mixture can make out to red, this elements are important when, for example in my case, an urban planner will do a presentation of a diagnosis of any place and need to give a highlight to any aspect of the work.

** Notes about Color **
Color, effect produced on the eye and its associated nerves by light waves of different wavelength or frequency.

Primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary colors. complementary colors such as blue and orange. and analogous (similar or related) colors such as yellow, green and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color - black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.

Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. Colors mixed with white are called tints. Colors mixed with black are called shades. Saturation or intensity refers to the "purity" of color. A pure color is at its highest saturation, its most intense and brightest form.

Certain colors also look cool, such as blue, green and violet; and others look warm, like red, orange and yellow. Warm and intense colors appear to advance toward the viewer, while cool or dull colors recede. Sometimes the same color will appear to be two slightly different colors when placed against different backgrounds.

When small dots of pure color are applied close together, the viewer's eyes mix the colors. When small dots of pure hue are applied close together, the viewer's eyes mix these hues. Some artists use color in an arbitrary way. Instead of imitating the natural colors of objects, they used colors for symbolic or expressive purposes.

When white light passes through a glass prism, it is separated into a band of colors called a spectrum. The colors of the visible spectrum, called the elementary colors, are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet (in that order).

Red, Yellow, and Blue (The primary colors of pigments in the art world) Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow (The primary colors of inks in the printing industry*) When light falls on an object, some of it is absorbed and some is reflected. The apparent color of an opaque object depends on the wavelength of the light that it reflects, The color of a transparent object is determined by the wavelength of the light transmitted by it. Black and white are not generally considered true colors; black is said to result from the absence of color, and white from the presence of all colors mixed together. Additive Colors, colors whose beams of light in various combinations can produce any of the color sensations are called primary, or spectral, colors. The additive primaries are red, green, and blue-violet. Subtractive Colors, When pigments are mixed, the resulting sensations differ from those of the transmitted primary colors. Magenta (red-violet), yellow, and cyan (blue-green) are called subtractive primaries, or primary pigments.

** Importance of color for Urban Planning **
Color is an important element in urban planning because of them can be done various analysis of an area that is in the process of studying for the subsequent development of a plan for improving its dynamics, trought colors can be identified the different uses given to the plots of the place, the heights of buildings, population density, the hardness of the structure, etc. It is also used to express the situation of the land on which it plans to work in their relief, pending, hydrography, geotechnical failures among other things. The use of color in urban design allows high quality in graphic presentation of projects and makes easier the understanding of plans for professionals outside the career, and even civil society, that is the most important element in the urbanism, because that proposals should always be directed to meet the demands of the population.
