I suppose the most marked example of color as structure is in the Byzantine use of mosaic decoration that becomes architecture. The decoration of the interiors so related to the form that they fuse. In less elaborate interior design this is always the ideal approach to color - used not only as just color alone  (Van Day Truex Quotes) I wonder if any element of interior design is more personal than color? Nothing can more quicly reveal aspect of personality and character than the choice - or absence - of color  (Van Day Truex Quotes) Better rooms better furniture, better objects d’art can only be created for a society interested in living - not existing.  (Van Day Truex Quotes) Control, edit and distill  (Van Day Truex Quotes) Good design is forever  (Van Day Truex Quotes) Rich colors are typical of a rich nature  (Van Day Truex Quotes) Remember, color is not just color, but mood, temperature and structure  (Van Day Truex Quotes) There is nothing more trite than a period room imposed on a contemporary setting  (Van Day Truex Quotes) Too many bright colors make for congestion. Too many bright colors need, above all, contrast in value, to eliminate vibration  (Van Day Truex Quotes) It is general knowledge for anyone interested in color that subdued value, intensity and hue make for quieter, less adventuresome interiors. Stronger approaches need stronger knowledge, more experience and flair  (Van Day Truex Quotes) The easiest approach to any strong color is to use a lot of it, thus unifying a room. However, beware of too many strong colors unless you happen to like living on a battlefield  (Van Day Truex Quotes) Interiors speak! Rooms emphasize whether one exists or lives, and there is a great difference between the two!  (Van Day Truex Quotes) Training the eye is the most important way to gain an appreciation and understanding of good design in busienss management  (Van Day Truex Quotes) Color is a major element in scale. A small room can have a larger look by the use of closely related values, hues, and intensity. A large room can be made to look smaller by marked contrasts of color and value, hue, and intensity. Value is one of the most important elements. Whether light or dark, little value contrast makes for unity, and sharper contrast makes for stronger punctuation  (Van Day Truex Quotes) The overscaled compositions being produced by so many abstract painters, which are full of movement and use of color, are ideal example, ideal transformations of an entire wall and entire room... There is no denying that one of the major attractions of these successful large compositions is their structural decorative use in the contemporary scene... That these large canvases can be superbly decorative may not be considered complimentary by some of the artists involved  (Van Day Truex Quotes)
