Whether it is trees, grass, wood in the natural environment, packaging, posters, advertisements in design works, or wall newspapers, murals, supplies and teaching AIDS in kindergartens, color will always capture our eyes first. Many people may not pay attention to this, but it is true that a person feels whether the environment is good or not, and a big factor is whether the color effect is good or not. Therefore, designers should first consider the color effect when designing. Pay more attention to color contrast in specific applications. Not the strongest contrast is the best, but there are often some TINT with strong contrast, such as yellow with blue and purple, red with blue, green with red and purple, which will offset each other's visual attraction and make people unhappy. The strong contrast between bright colors and dark colors in design is often applied to some words that need strong visual attention or clarity, such as some warning signs in kindergartens. These combinations of white characters on a blue background, black characters on an orange background and black characters on a yellow background will have a good effect because of the strong brightness contrast. In addition, there should be enough difference in tone or brightness between the floor and the furniture, which can prevent children from having optical illusions. There should be enough color and material differences in the material selection of indoor floors, parapets and other areas in kindergartens, and the lightness relationship should be expanded as much as possible to form color differences for children to identify. Outdoor large-scale toys are sports equipment that children like to play with, and they are also high-risk areas for children's accidental injuries. There is also the relationship between graph and bottom. The color of outdoor large toys should avoid being similar to the surrounding environment, especially the color of ground materials. Different parts of large toys can be designed with contrasting colors. When crowded, children tend to speed up because of impatience, and the danger often increases. Strong color design can prevent children from making mistakes in sports.
Reminder: Strong color visual impact may not have good visual appeal. It must be combined according to certain rules in order to make it more recognizable.
2. Harmony and elegance of colors
Colors add a lot of charm to the kindergarten environment. The colors in the park are more easily accepted by children, more impressive and easier to remember than words and graphics. It is wise to skillfully use colors to change the environmental style in the design of park environment. However, in order to achieve the harmonious and elegant effect of colors, we must pay attention to the overall relationship of colors, that is, pay attention to the collocation of main colors and other colors, because main colors will affect the effects of other colors, even the effects of the whole environment. Therefore, in the environmental layout, we should correctly handle the relationship between cold and warm colors and light and shade on the principle of overall coordination and local activities.
3. Adapt to children's aesthetic needs for color, correctly guide and cultivate children's aesthetic ability for color.
If we simply talk about color from the perspective of chromatics, or even talk about design color and color design, it seems that it can't meet the characteristics requirements of kindergarten environmental design color. In kindergarten environmental color design, we must study how to adapt to children's own characteristics and feelings of color on the premise of mastering the basic principles of color. Children's understanding of color is intuitive and simple. They can feel the ever-changing colors, but they can't distinguish the complex colors, let alone the ever-changing color relationship. However, it is precisely because of this situation that many people mistakenly think that children's world is a simple or simple color world. When they express environmental colors, they often use all kinds of bright colors to express them, which often highlights the sharp contrast and ignores the diversity of color aesthetic feeling and the elegance of color. Designers of Beijing Zhongao Hengye Kindergarten believe that adults can't treat children simply, especially designers can't express them simply. They should always grasp the basic laws of color, make full use of the expressive force of color, and combine children's sensory ability to creatively express an idea and create a moderate space environment, so that children can gradually feel the wonder and richness of the color world in this space environment.
