Color Effects in Photography

by Matthew Rivers

<strong>Color's Significance</strong>

In beginning a discussion on color, a key element to keep in mind is the way in which color affects the emotions. With this as a guiding principle, you'll be able to effectively select the palette suited to your needed. Understanding the emotion you would like to evoke is key.

Thus, planning and envisioning what you really want for your image or scene will be far more effective than merely which colors you choose to use. Since warm colors end the color spectrum, they tend to stand out and demand more attention. For this reason, they are often called advancing colors.

<strong>How Strong is Color's Effect?</strong>

As an example, you can observe the rich boldness of the color red. Because it often dominates any scene into which it is incorporated, its power is easily demonstrated when a tiny red object draws all the attention away from the main subject! Still, you will discover that oranges and yellows also have a powerful attractive effect, although not as pronounced as that of red. Keeping the concept in mind will go a long way to setting our stage for your photos.

In contrast, cooler colors tend to send out a frequency that encourages relaxation. Yet, when mixed with warm colors, they can still emit an energizing effect. With blue, a common calming color, yellow can be added to produce a green that portrays vibrancy and growth. With purple (red added to blue), you can achieve a feeling of excitement or power.

With most photographers having little training in colors, its emotional effect is often underutilized. But, with so much research already published on the topic, few can deny its effect. In this way, by taking just a small amount of time to understand the foundational principles, you will be able to transform your photography and take it to the next level.

<strong>Color Combinations</strong>

Through using color and its effect, you can coordinate both the background and foreground together to emphasize specific features. While blues and greens often work best for creating welcoming space, you'll be able to then incorporate other colors that draw attention to the finer details. By using the physics of light, you can affect the physiology of vision for our viewer and how they perceive your work.
