Discover How You Can Use Color to Silently Impact Your World

Wednesday, July 28, 2021 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm

“You can sell anything in a yellow box.” Why? Because advertisers know that of all colors, yellow is most noticeable by the human eye. An artist, however, will often use touches of red to lead the viewer’s eye around the canvas—and it works. This program reveals how yellow and red affect us, and explains blue, orange, and even how purple can sway our perceptions. Where would we be without that perfect little black dress and the silent message it delivers? Color—whether in clothing, promotion, or decor—impacts us in ways we don’t consciously perceive. Color is a major influence factor in our lives. Come learn from artist and writer Chris Rogers as she reveals ways we can silently use color to impact our world.
