How Color Cat-s create Catalyst Harmonies

Complimentary / Adjacent Exclusionary Configuration”

The Color Cubes are an arrangement of the color samples on the cubes that produce their Catalyst effect. It is one where where ‘garish compliments’ and ‘boring adjacent’ color combinations are disallowed by their presence on the same cube. You will note that there are 8 groups of three on the Cubes. On the circle the adjacent groups are across from one another in a complimentary manner. On the color wheel included see the labeling of this configuration. A Cube top Yellows across from A Cube bottom violet and so on.. Users who demand those two colors together know in advance what they want and may use the independent Color Cards to augment their work with the Color Cubes. Note that the adjacent color relationships when desired may be achieved with the use of the translucent modification Gels.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1 ) Place various parts of the kits out to familiarize yourself with the general appearance to be referred to in the instructions.

2 ) Take the four. Color Cubes in your hands and turn them to get a sense of the twenty-four colors that are displayed. It can help to now place them on a surface to flip the cubes one by one over and occasionally push them together into abutment so that the colors interact fully. There are two positions off-set for the four selected colors you may observe.

3 ) Place the viewfinder Color Proportion-er over the color combination and experiment with the extraordinary effect that varying the amounts of the color has on its appearance. Each has its ‘role’ in the combination in as a whole. Turn the window on the diagonal it the dynamic of that interests you.

4 ) Use the Color Gels to modify the colors as your inclination directs; Warm, Cool, Darken, Lightening and Neutralize. Add several layers of Gels if desired.

5 ) Keep experimenting. There are colored strings, etc. included to add a linear element that is desired by some designers. Make photos if you need to recall combinations that have interested you for future reference.

Handle the Cubes rotating them & observing the effect colors are having on you. Place them on a surface with a possible up facing choice of four... Then using the Color Proportion-er to experiment with balance of selected color as they are perceived. Fine tuning with the Color Proportion-er to find desire expressive color combination for further use in your project. Use the Gels to Modify the select Colors. Use the Color Cards to adjust or supplement the select colors. Various styles may compose a combination with the color cubes and proportion-er. Apply it as a generality to the specific style this transposition of color choice as composition-al elements.
