Meanwhile softer shades of reds, like rose and pink, are considered more approachable, friendly, and playful. These colors offer depth that can feel both commanding and inspiring in a space. Moods: Deeper reds, like ruby and scarlet, are most commonly associated with passion, strength, romance, and confidence.

At the end of the day, it is entirely up to YOU to decide how you feel about color and how you want to experience it in your home. The color associations I am sharing below are predominantly Western associations, and general associations at that, not to be taken as fact. For example, while Western culture may wear black to funerals and dress brides in white weddings, in Buddhist culture, white is considered the color of mourning. How you personally perceive color is almost entirely a result of what you have been exposed to throughout your life. It’s important to note that color can inspire two people, and two cultures, in dramatically different ways. Stunning rugs at Jaipur Living An Important Note on Color Perception Around the World But before we dive in, a quick disclaimer… To celebrate color and the many designs I saw at High Point Market, I thought it would be fun to “walk through the rainbow,” exploring the emotions and feelings each color is most known for inspiring. Which is why I was equally thrilled to see all of the colorful designs throughout the showrooms at High Point Market, the biggest design event in North America!Ĭustom color options for nearly every piece of furniture around - I’m in! Can’t you just imagine the potential? Instead, the population is moving toward colors that offer feelings of security, warmth, comfort, and inspiration… and I don’t see this changing any time soon!Īs someone who LOVES color (whether we go all-in or layer it subtly), I couldn’t be happier to see this shift. After the decade-long grey trend of the early 2000s, we’ve seen a shift toward warmer neutrals, saturated hues, and color-loving spaces.Īlthough this shift was already well in motion before 2020, the arrival (and longevity) of the pandemic has steered us homeowners even further away from cold, sterile, hospital-like hues. Over the last 5 years or more, color has slowly been seeping back into interiors. Follow me into the world of color in interiors… The Prevalence of Color in Design To put it simply, color is the building block of our visual world, and without it, we would be living in a film noir - totally chic, but lacking in vibrance and substance. It’s what can inspire emotion, action, and even in action, for those moments when resting and escaping from the outside world are just what the doctor ordered! Today, I want to focus on just one of those elements… COLOR.Ĭolor is what helps blend your past, present, and future into one beautiful, livable story. I have downloaded and installed the new ACDSee solution for the Mac,but it is a simple workflow tool with no layers support and no way to call either plugins or external apps, so it is useless for me when it comes to Topaz Studio.If you know me, you know that I believe in immersive spaces that are a conversation of color, texture, form, and function.
#TOPAZ STUDIO COLOR SPACE FULL#
As for ACDSee, the last time I looked (which was some time ago) they did not have a full editor for the Mac, only for Windows.
It does run external programs as well as plugins, but plugins just seem to be a more natural way to call Topaz functionality.
That leaves me (and my Mac) with PhotoLine.
I used to think that photoFXLab would solve my problems but it, too, proved to be less than robust when run from Affinity Photo. Unfortunately Affinity Photo does not run external programs or all of this would be moot, so I am stuck with the plugins. However they are not able to run most plugins due, they tell us, to the Apple Store restrictions, so I have looked for ways to run the Topaz plugins and now Topaz Studio.
I have been an Affinity Photo beta tester for a very long time, well before they issued the first MAS release, and am perfectly comfortable with it. It was not the cost of $10/month that bothered me as I spent more than that on upgrades, but the idea that if I decided to stop paying I would have nothing left to use. I used to be a Photoshop customer but when they went entirely to CC I decided to look for a different editor.
