Continuing\u00a0our\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. Let’s look at the color indigo:<\/p>\n

The color indigo is the color of intuition and perception. It promotes deep concentration during times of introspection and meditation, helping you achieve deeper levels of consciousness. It is a color which relates to the “New Age” – the ability to use the Higher Mind to see beyond the normal senses with great powers of perception. It relies on intuition rather than gut feeling.<\/p>\n

Indigo is a deep midnight blue. It is a combination of deep blue and violet and holds the attributes of both these colors.\u00a0Service to humanity is one of the strengths of the color indigo. Powerful and dignified, indigo conveys integrity and deep sincerity.<\/p>\n

The color meaning of indigo reflects great devotion, wisdom and justice along with fairness and impartiality. It is a defender of people’s rights to the end.<\/p>\n

Structure creates identity and meaning for indigo. In fact an indigo person cannot function without structure – it throws them right off balance. Organization is very important to them and they can be quite inflexible when it comes to order in their lives.<\/p>\n

Indigo loves rituals and traditions, religion and the institutional system, conforming to things that have worked in the past while planning for the future.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Lake Effect by Susan Ulrich $335<\/p><\/div>\n

Indigo stimulates right brain or creative activity and helps with spatial skills. It is a dramatic color relating to the world of the theater, which, during times of stress becomes the drama queen, making a mountain out of a molehill!<\/p>\n

The negative color meaning of indigo relates to fanaticism and addiction. Indigo can be narrow-minded, intolerant and prejudiced.<\/p>\n
