Dr Marisha McAuliffe is one of
Australia's foremost researchers in
colour and design. Educated in
interior architecture and holding a
PhD in design thinking and cognitive
science, McAuliffe specialises in
colour theory and application in the
built environment.
The world is washed in colour. From the moment
one awakes until they nods off to sleep, the eyes
register millions upon millions of colours from a
palette that is limited only by one’s imagination.
Colour is used to adorn and decorate and many
have tried to find an organisational system that
could concretely states how colour is to be used
correctly.
In this book Marisha McAuliffe examines the concept of colour
and its uses for those who design professionally or those who
simply want to appreciate the complexities of colour. It examines
light and contrast, and explains the pitfalls that are to be avoided
in colour design. The book explores different concepts relating
to, and including, colour history, systems and theories,
requirements for a colour-based design project, research, and
generation of colour schemes so as to create optimal experiences
for colour in architecture, interior architecture and design.
To fully understand colour, the book ventures into its scientific
and ‘non-scientific’ elements compiling key points about its
many characteristics. Taken together, this book is a compressive
guide for those who seek to work with colour and to tap its
enormous potentials for design effect.
