Colors have an affect on us mentally, psychally, and emotionally. My project will include research on Albert Munsell and the Munsell Color System. I will create an all inclusive artist hub called “Mellow Yellow” using Munsell’s theories and color methodology. This space will prove colors in any space can enhance creative inspiration. I will use warm and cool colors to counteract and lift the moods of the creators inside. Yellow, Orange and Green will stand as my primary color choices. Blue and Purple will stand as my secondary color choices. These specific colors have been proven to calm, inspire, and motivate. I will use my design knowledge to sketch, render, and build a prototype of “Mellow Yellow.” The motive behind my project is to spark creativity within myself and others, and to show the great effect color has on our creative lives.

I am a sucker for mid century design and you nailed this! I’m excited to hear what you have to say!
