If you want to show anxiety and tension use complex, fractional, color compositions and colors such as bright yellow, purple, dark blue, red, black. They will make work dynamic.


​ Interest and surprise arise when perceiving dynamic, complex, asymmetric, curved, contrasting-harmonious compositions. Using bright saturated color tones on our works.


If you want to go away from boredom, do not use combinations of the simplest, monotonous, straightforward, rhythmic, symmetrical color compositions, the predominant colors of which are dull and heavy colors - gray, brown, black.


Elevation and lightness are created by simple, vertically pronounced compositions, which are look like light, light colors - blue, white, yellow, turquoise.
