How to seize the application of color in industrial design

In design, color design is very important, industrial design is also the same, in the Peng industrial design to understand some of the application of color is as follows,1

Satisfy the functional requirements of the product

Color design and the product's form, structure, functional requirements to achieve harmony and unity is an important symbol of the success of the color design

For example, fire trucks All use red as the main color

This is because red reminds people of fire, red has a very good attention and far-sighted effect, so that the fire trucks unimpeded

At the same time, the red color can uplift people's spirits, inspire people's fighting spirit

Therefore, the fire trucks use the red color to fully play its functional role

Household air conditioners, refrigerators, and other industrial products, whose function is to Cooling and preservation of freshness, it is appropriate to use light and bright cold colors

Sanitary appliances and medical equipment using light colors; military products using camouflage and green to conceal themselves and deceive the enemy; engineering machinery in order to be safe and eye-catching, the use of higher brightness, lower purity of yellow and orange as the main color, etc., are from the functional characteristics of the product and the color of the function of the combination of the role of the choice

Satisfying the principle of human-machine coordination, color design should make the operator happy, a sense of security, not easy to produce fatigue, so as to achieve the purpose of accurate operation and efficiency

For example, the general machine tool equipment base, bed, etc., it is desirable to use heavy For example, the general machine tool base, bed, etc., it is appropriate to use heavy colors, giving a sense of security; workbench, slider, etc., it is appropriate to use light colors, to eliminate the sense of dullness; to meet the requirements of accurate operation, man-machine coordination

Satisfy the environmental requirements of the color design should not be confined to the product itself

And should focus on the entire environment

To make the product's main color and the coordination of the surrounding environment and to be the organic part of the environment, to create a good color environment for people, to create a good color environment. To create a good color environment for people to feel comfortable, happy work, safe production, improve efficiency

(1) the natural environment is the designer's primary consideration of the main factors of the product color tone

In the hot working environment, the product color tone should give a person a cool, calm, stable feeling, it is appropriate to use low purity, high brightness, cold colors as the main hue; in a cold Working environment, the product color should give a person a warm feeling, it is appropriate to use high purity, low brightness of the warm colors as the main color

(2) industrial environment ① operating environment requirements of industrial products, such as outdoor work in the transportation, construction and other engineering machinery, in order to be able to appear in the environment of the color, so that it has a good degree of recognition and attention, it is appropriate to use the purity and brightness of high, and the background color has a strong contrast of color (such as yellow, orange, red)

Additionally, you can also use a strong contrast of composite colors, or add the necessary decorative ribbon, in order to increase the sense of dynamism

As for the use of industrial products indoors, such as medical and health care equipment, it is desirable to use a light, bright, soft, cool or warm colors, can be found dirty in time to clean, and at the same time also make the patient feel safe, friendly

The lighting environment interface design machine tool pad iron machine tool VI design cell phone design industrial design company styling design machine tool equipment workplace lighting environment of natural light and artificial lighting

The original color of the product only in the natural light conditions will not be distorted to show it

And the artificial lighting environment, the color of the product will be due to the effect of the different colors of the light and the color of the product will be changed

So, designers should consider the color rendering of the lighting source, color chart and illumination on the impact of color matching

Only by harmonizing the product color with the lighting environment, can we get the expected color effect and better play the function of color

③Noise environment, in order to give a person the feeling of serenity and softness, it is appropriate to use the low purity and moderate brightness of the cold tone

The green working environment can "reduce" the color of the product, which can be used to reduce the noise. Green working environment can "reduce" the effect of noise, to protect the hearing of workers

So, the noise is stronger in the work environment, the wall should be light green tones

In line with the laws of aesthetics ① color design contrast and reconciliation of the color of the contrast between the two elements of the quality or quantity of the special emphasis, so that they show their respective qualities and vitality

However, the product as a whole, do not allow the color of the chaos, cut each other

We must pay attention to the organic connection of color, so that it becomes an organic whole, in order to make the product full of vitality, robust, friendly feeling

② color balance and stability of the color balance and stability of the sense of balance and sense of stability is to achieve the balance of the visual and stability of the effective method

Particularly for form structure is not symmetrical, unstable products, the use of color light and heavy sense of strength and weakness, to achieve visual balance and stability

For example, the configuration of bright colors on the top, dark colors in the bottom of the stability, and vice versa, there is a sense of movement

3 color rhythm and rhythm of the use of rhythm and rhythm of the color to make the modeling of a sense of movement is an important feature of the design of the modern industrial product modeling

Rhythm, rhythm and line or shape of the rhythm of color Rhythm and rhythm of color combined with the changes of line or shape, or produce smooth and continuous movement effect, or produce intermittent, sudden changes in the jumping movement effect

4 Proportion and division of color matching Proportion and division of color matching is generated with the shape and its combination

Using the contrast and harmony of colors, the proportion and division of color matching, and the function of color, can emphasize the proportion of the form of the shape of the beautiful Characteristics

Conforms to the aesthetic requirements of the timesThe changes and development of the times, people's aesthetic standards also change

In a certain period or a certain region or even the world, certain colors are welcomed by the people and are widely popular, and become "popular colors"

Popular colors With strong characteristics of the times, and therefore in a period of time to become widely used colors

Industrial product color design, should also give full consideration to the use of popular colors, in order to meet the requirements of the times

6

Pay attention to the choice of hue, pay attention to the coloring process and the economic effect

Generally speaking, the main color of the industrial products for one color or two colors

The choice of the main tone is closely related to the coloring process and economy

Generally speaking, the fewer the main color, the easier the coloring process, the economic effect is good; on the contrary

the coloring process is complicated, the economic effect is poor
