COLOR PERCEPTION

Teacher and painter Israel Pedrosa defines color as follows: "Color does not exist materially, it is a sensation caused by light on the eyes."

It is true that it is not possible to see colors in the dark; therefore, if any color appears, it is why there is some light in the environment.

Does color exist ? Maybe it doesn't, but there is a consensus that it is visible. It penetrates human soul through the eyes, affecting psychological and mental activity, thus becoming part of our lives. It carries stories and meanings which , if studied and analyzed, demonstrate their general influence on all of us.

From a basic understanding of such influence, we can coordinate the colors we want for as long as possible in our lives, coloring our palpable world for bringing more pleasure and well-being to it.

 Xadrez® pigment utilized in mortar, whitewash and paint is an excellent way of materializing color. The six colors available can be combined and turned into a range of shades for coloring floors, walls and objects. 

Before you begin with your work, please observe two aspects of color:

1 - The color's psychological effects;
2 - The perception of the chromatic space.
