Colour is much more than decoration. This medium definitely influences human beings –consciously and unconsciously.
The IACC Chapter Europe, was invited in 2017 to create a new colour pallet for a City in Sothern Italy, maintaining the character and identity of the town.
Eleven buildings of the centre were selected to be worked on. The collected 53 old colour samples were the base for the very careful analysis and the strong reduction to 21 nuances of the new pallet.
Finally various colour collages were produced to show the community and the public of the city the change of impression - using just colour.
Colour is definitely an absolute necessity for a balanced environment, indoors as well as outdoors.
A medical statement says that more than 75% of all illnesses derive from stress: In this connection the stress diminishing property of colour is THE MOST EFFECTIVE one to take care of.
