Color Onstage

Whether your set has one dominant color or many, it is best to design in black, white, and gray. The values chosen create the relative flatness or depth, defining the space. Color, as important as it is, acts as the icing on the well-designed set.

Color Qualities

Color is the most complex design element because of its three inherent qualities: hue, value, and saturation, otherwise called color, value, and intensity. Hue is its position on the color wheel and the color’s name. In addition to hue, each color has an inherent value on the gray scale. Pure yellow is the lightest and purple is the darkest. The third quality of color is degree of purity or saturation, the amount that a color has been grayed, or “muddied.”

Just as with the other elements of design, conditioning causes a conscious, or subconscious, reaction to various colors. Half the color wheel is considered cool and the other half warm.
