connected colours

*The colour code represents a colour proposition within a defined colour range. Small variations in hue, lightness and saturation are valid and appropriate in function of environmental factors such as lighting, adjacent colours, space, and texture. At the same time you must preserve the essence of the original colour identity. For example, white-0, a very light-blue shade, should mainly be perceived as white and not as blue. Likewise, red-0, a fuchsia red, should be perceived as belonging to the red and not the purple family, although a purple aspect must be present.
quotes
- Purple and the artificial
The artificial, the stylized is purple. Purple became the favorite colour of the Jugendstil. This movement in art rejected everything natural as artless. In the typical flower and plant ornaments of the Jugendstil, nature was styled decoratively to meet the demands of the then aesthetic. The Jugendstil is the only movement in art that appreciated purple as an interior colour. (Heller, 1989)

blue is the positive side of fantasy. It stands for utopian ideas whose realization lies in the distance. In the nefarious purple the negative side of fantasy is symbolized, namely the proximity of the lie. The negative aspect is reinforced by the third colour of the fantasy: yellow is the colour of the untruth.
