  9. LocationLight • Full-Sun = + 6 hours • Part-Shade = 4-6 • Shade = less then 4 hours

  10. LocationAdjacent Materials • Building materials • Brick • Wood, • Concrete • Sidewalk materials • Concrete • Brick or brick pavers • Adjacent colors • Red, grey, white?

  11. LocationMicroclimate • Temperature • Rainfall • Light bed next to busy road

  12. Selecting ContainersDurability • Materials • Concrete • Clay (terracotta) • Plastic • Weathering • Discoloring in sunlight • UV resistance

  13. ContainersSpace Availability

  14. Developing a Color Scheme:Color Theoryor, how light is reflected from objects • Effects of color on humans • Effects on energy consumption • Effects on human reactions

  15. Psychology of Color

  16. What is Color? • The reflection of light rays back to the retina – human eye sees a very narrow spectrum • The human eye sees color first, before shape

  17. The Color WheelThree Properties of Color • A color circle, based on red, yellow and blue, is traditional in the field of art and is a way of arranging colors to show a variety of relationships between colors • Sir Isaac Newton developed the first circular diagram of colors in 1666 • Since then scientists and artists have studied and designed numerous variations of this concept

  18. Primary Colors Red, yellow, and blue

  19. Secondary Colors • Blue + yellow = green • Red + yellow = orange • Red + blue = violet

  20. Tertiary Colors yellow-orange, red-orange, red-violet, blue-violet, blue-green, and yellow-green

  21. Shade - hue mixed with black • Tint - hue mixed with white • Tone - hue + gray or hue + complementary color

  22. Additive Color Theory

  23. Subtractive Color Theory

  24. Basic Color Schemes

  25. Monochromatic Scheme

  26. Analogous Colors

  27. Complementary Colors

  28. Triadic

  29. Split Complementary

  30. Color Harmony Harmony can be defined as a pleasing arrangement of parts

  31. Nature • Nature provides a perfect departure point for color harmony

  32. Color Context

  33. Different readings of the same color

  34. Color Effects of Adjoining Colors Red with green stands out Blue with green fades With white you get truest color Gray accentuates the color purity

  35. Warm Colors • Advance • Excitement, passion, liveliness • Yellow to red-violet on the color wheel

  36. Cool colors • Cool colors recede • Serenity, calmness • Violet to yellow-green on the color wheel

  37. Color Four Distinct Colors Perceived Red: Requires a refocus Yellow: Natural focal point Blue: Requires a refocus Green: Natural focal point

  38. Shades

  39. Flower Colors White All light rays reflected from a surface Stands out at dusk Goes with almost any color White flowers tend to have other colors

  40. Flower Colors Yellow Perceived more readily Does not show much contrast – palest color Best used as a focal point Light yellow blends well

  41. Flower Colors Blue Can be stimulating and restful Blue tends to fade (recede) Hard to find natural blues Associated with “cool” feeling

  42. Flower Colors Red The most bold and provocative Most vivid when contrasted with greens Bossy, warm, advancing

  43. Flower Colors Green Easy on the eye Good unifying color Commonly available in plant world

  44. Flower Colors Grey Affected by neighboring colors Gray w/ orange = bluish Gray w/ red = greenish Shade = violet Sun = yellow

  45. Color in Design Reason for bed (eye appeal, pleasing view, attraction, etc) Light availability Blend versus contrast Surroundings Patterns versus mixes

  46. Developing a Color Scheme:Effects of Light on Colors • Effects of Sunlight Intensity • Bright light: colors fade • Gray skies: greens glow and pastels shine • Shady conditions: colors tend toward violet

  47. Selecting Plants:Materials for Flower Display

  48. Materials for Flower Display Centerpieces

  49. Materials for Flower Display Middle Plants

  50. Materials for Flower Display Fillers
