Multicultural Color
As with typefaces, color schemes that attempt to convey a multicul-
tural idea may be either severely limited or quite open in terms
of the number and kinds of colors that are used. A limited palette of
gray, black, white, red, and golden yellow—the extremes of value
and a concentration on two hues with universal associations of
energy—is a popular color approach for design that is intended to
be as international as possible. On the other hand, a wide range
of colors mixed together in very basic presentation also conveys the
sense of many kinds of visual traditions being brought together.
Middle values of blue, green, red, orange, gold, ochre, brown, and
fuchsia together—controlled so that their values are as similar as
possible—reference the environment seen in all parts of the world:
grass, earth, sky, water, sun, animals, and so on. In combining
colors of similar value, the interaction of hues becomes more
pronounced and speaks more clearly of their multicultural mixing.
