COLORWOR(l)D: CONCEPT ART

 

The concept is one of presenting a single-color, two-color or a three-color painting, with the painting consisting of a basic color and a text color. In print the color is written as a word or words consisting of the basic color and the text color, without the written color actually appearing.

Mixed colors

For the RGB color space (= red, green, blue) the following applies:

Yellow = red + green

Cyan = green + blue

Magenta = red + blue

For the CMYK color space (= cyan, magenta, yellow plus black ratio key) the following applies:

Red = yellow + magenta

Blue = magenta + cyan

Green = yellow + cyan

For the (physical) color mixing addition (+) and subtraction (-) are applied. The subject of color is interesting and relevant. The innovative presentation of colors in the project Color Wor(l)d is absolutely new and will speak to numerous people. As a consequence, the presentation of colors will provoke a reaction in the observer. The people collaborating on the programme Color Wor(l)d are exhibiting a rapidly growing creativity after only a short space of time, as the application and combination of additive and subtractive color presentation allows extensive variations including numerous surprises. In contrast to a single color presentation (as shown below), the option chosen here provokes a complex thought process within the observer, as described in the “Osnabrück Experiment” (see further below). However, this experiment was based on a simple (wrong) color presentation, whereas the presentation by the Color Wor(l)d concept requires a multi-tiered thought process.
