1. How often you find the color while exploring?
The color green shows up quite often because it is considered a nature park. I don’t see it much open on people’s clothes, maybe it’s due to the coming of fall, it isn’t a good time for green anymore.
2. Can you detect a pattern in terms of its use? What similarities and differences do you notice in hue, saturation, and variation. Is there any overlap between how color is used in nature and in design?
- There are different color saturations of green in plants as they are in different stages of life.
- There is a different type of green used in bins, and straws that were abundant. Their hue is a bit bluer than the natural plants, this might be used to differentiate the nature. I noticed a piece of packing box has the same shade with new leaves, maybe that’s what it was approaching: fresh.
- The green that was used for people’s clothes have more virality, but they are in a similar shade of plants, I guess there aren’t rule in fashion.
3. What is the color a result of?
Green is definitely a color of nature, the designs that involved the color green mostly have an approach to environmental.
