Using Color in Photos

By Matthew Rivers


Color's Significance

To begin talking about color, there is one concept that must remain at the forefront. That concept is the emotional impact that color has on individuals. If you use this as your guiding principle, you can effectively blend your palette.

Therefore, taking the time needed to plan out your color scheme is not unreasonable. Warm colors tend to draw attention, allowing your main subject to stand out if used appropriately. That is why warm colors are often known as advancing colors.

Color Effects

Take, for example, the rich boldness of the color red. Usually, as soon as this color enters the scene, all others seem to fade into the background. Even with orange and yellow which have a similar effect, red will still dominate. As you incorporate this concept into setting the stage for your photography, you will be able to better arrange your picture to suit your design for where attention will be focused.

Cooler colors tend to portray relaxation, but may have elements of energy when combined with some of the warm colors. Blue is generally accepted as a calming color, but green (since it is the addition of blue and yellow) portrays a feeling of growth an vibrancy. Then, purple (due to the addition of red) becomes an elegant color that can emit a frequency of excitement or power depending upon the shade.

With most photographers having little training in colors, its emotional effect is often underutilized. But, with so much research already published on the topic, few can deny its effect. In this way, by taking just a small amount of time to understand the foundational principles, you will be able to transform your photography and take it to the next level.

Combining Colors

By understanding colors and how they work, you can effectively coordinate the scene to create inspiring images. Of course, both foreground and background considerations are necessary, but you'll find that blues and greens often create amazing background space. Then, by allow other colors to emphasize features, you'll be able to intertwine the physics of light into your scene. By using the physiology of vision, you will be able to affect the perceptions your audience has regarding your photography.
