The male autumn type

January 28th, 2012
The colourful landscape of autumn is marked by muffled, smoky tones as well as by bright, brilliant and spicy tones such as smoky yellow, fiery red and yellow-brown orange. A whiff of bronze seems to be lying above all of it. The green leaves of the trees turn golden, copper and red against the background of a teal-coloured sky – the only blue to be found in nature during the frosty, clear autumn months. This shade of blue goes so well with the other autumn colours, since it is metallic, stands out and seems strong just like those. Autumn shows its full, rich, heady ripeness, as powerful as the stormy autumn winds. The stock for winter has  ...weiter

The female autumn type

January 16th, 2012
The first bright days of autumn turn nature into a colourful landscape that resembles the luscious colours of an oil painting. The heat of summer has made the grass and leaves wither, and now they look dry, smoky, but at the same time bright, splendid and spicy with warm, yellow-brown orange, smoky yellow and brilliant fiery red. A whiff of bronze seems to be lying above all of it. The leaves of the trees shine golden, copper and red against the background of a teal-coloured sky – the only blue to be found in nature during the frosty, clear autumn months.

The male summer type

December 1st, 2011
The colours of a summer landscape resemble a painting made with pastel colours, even the luscious tones seem muffled. The green of the leaves is deeper in summer, muffled with shades of blue, which make the colours of spring cooler, as if they reflected the delicate blue of the summer sky. The warmth of the summer sun seems to bleach the colours to pastel colours, purple turning into lavender and mauve, and the gentle breeze hardly moves the leaves, which danced in the lively winds of spring. Summer is characterized by the gentleness of expression. The male summer type: Personal colour scheme: The eye colour of the male summer type is usual ...weiter

The male spring type

November 16th, 2011
The colours in spring seem like painted with watercolour, fresh, colourful, with a strong brushstroke. The green-tones symbolize nature’s awakening: sun-drenched and washed by the rain, clear and bursting with life. Nature is in gleeful anticipation. Tulips, daffodils and crocuses show brilliant red and yellow, the trees grow fresh green leaves, in between blossoms in creme-white, pink and apricot-coloured. Golden sunlight floods the scenery with light, warmth and bright shine. If there should be clouds in the sky, it looks as if they’d been washed pure white by the spring rain.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe – The mastermind of colour theory

November 10th, 2011
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) didn’t only occupy himself with literature but also natural science and had a holistic approach to his observations on colour. His book “On Colour theory” was first published in 1810 by Cotta Publishing House. He considered this book, the most comprehensive one of all his works, as more important than his literary works. In this book, he sheds light at the phenomenon of colour in its entirety from different angles. It was important to him to describe the development of colours from the angle of natural sciences but also explain the psychological and aesthetic aspects of colours and how his findings ...weiter
