“Color is a major element in scale. A small room can have a larger look by the use of closely related values, hues, and intensity. A large room can be made to look smaller by marked contrasts of color and value, hue, and intensity. Value is one of the most important elements. Whether light or dark, little value contrast makes for unity, and sharper contrast makes for stronger punctuation.” LooksLittlesMadeImportantUseLightValuesDarkRoomsColorElementsMajorsStrongerUnityScalesRelatedIntensityContrastHuePunctuationSmall Rooms Author:Van Day Truex
