Color Sharing
Objective
The goal for this investigation is four designs. The designs explore color strategies for creating degrees of contrast (ergo the ability to control attention). Separate and intermixed analogous colors will be used, along with the introduction of an "unrelated" color to develop a hierarchy.

The Bezold Effect
Objective
The Bezold effect is an optical illusion, named after a German professor of meteorology Wilhelm von Bezold (1837–1907), who discovered that a color may appear different depending on its relation to adjacent colors. Each of the two squares created will be identical with only a single color being changed between the first and second square.
