Continuing a\u00a0series of posts on the topic of shopping for art by\u00a0color.<\/p>\n

These days, I find many shops and on-line retailers choose to display their merchandise by color. Whether it’s clothing on a rack\u00a0or\u00a0home accessories shown in a catalog, it seems helpful to shop with a specific color in mind. Harcum visual merchandising says, “Color is the biggest motivation for shopping. People buy color before they buy size, fit or price.”<\/p>\n

Traditionally, shopping for art doesn’t happen this way\u00a0since we’ve long been advised not to\u00a0‘match the art to the curtains.’ Therefore, this will\u00a0be blasphemy to purists\u00a0–\u00a0but let’s consider\u00a0shopping for art by color for just a moment. Think of it like accessorizing an outfit. Often we have\u00a0a color scheme at home, or we know what color\u00a0is\u00a0dominant in a\u00a0room, so shopping for art\u00a0in a complimentary or contrasting color creates a strong argument\u00a0from a design perspective.<\/p>\n

Putting color first also speaks volumes from a\u00a0color psychology<\/a>\u00a0perspective. To start, let’s look at the color blue:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Peace of Mind by Susan Ulrich $175<\/p><\/div>\n

This color is one of trust, honesty and loyalty. It is sincere, reserved and quiet, and doesn’t like to make a fuss or draw attention. It hates confrontation, and likes to do things in its own way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Blue Nebula by Michael Filonow $240<\/p><\/div>\n

From a color psychology perspective, blue is reliable and responsible. Blue\u00a0exhibits an inner security and confidence.\u00a0You can rely on it to take control and do the right thing in difficult times.\u00a0It has a need for order and direction in its life, including its living and work spaces.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Dinah by tracy burke $100<\/p><\/div>\n

This is a color that seeks peace and tranquility above everything else, promoting both physical and mental relaxation.\u00a0It reduces stress, creating a sense of calmness, relaxation and order – we certainly feel a sense of calm if we lie on our backs and look into a bright blue cloudless sky. It slows the metabolism. The paler the blue the more freedom we feel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

ICON #12 by Steve Alderton $1,075<\/p><\/div>\n

In the meaning of colors, blue relates to one-to-one communication, especially communication using the voice – speaking the truth through verbal self-expression – it is the teacher, the public speaker.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Lost at Sea, near Nantucket by Gayle Fitzpatrick $865<\/p><\/div>\n

The color blue is idealistic, enhancing self-expression and our ability to communicate our needs and wants. It inspires higher ideals.<\/p>\n
