COLOUR RESEARCH


 RED

Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love.

Red is a very emotionally intense color. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. It has very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and fire equipment are usually painted red. In heraldry, red is used to indicate courage. It is a color found in many national flags.

Red brings text and images to the foreground. Use it as an accent color to stimulate people to make quick decisions; it is a perfect color for 'Buy Now' or 'Click Here' buttons on Internet banners and websites. In advertising, red is often used to evoke erotic feelings (red lips, red nails, red-light districts, 'Lady in Red', etc). Red is widely used to indicate danger (high voltage signs, traffic lights). This color is also commonly associated with energy, so you can use it when promoting energy drinks, games, cars, items related to sports and high physical activity.

Orange

Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.

To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as aggressive as red. Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates mental activity. It is highly accepted among young people. As a citrus color, orange is associated with healthy food and stimulates appetite. Orange is the color of fall and harvest. In heraldry, orange is symbolic of strength and endurance.

YELLOW

Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy.

Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy. Yellow is often associated with food. Bright, pure yellow is an attention getter, which is the reason taxicabs are painted this color. When overused, yellow may have a disturbing effect; it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms. Yellow is seen before other colors when placed against black; this combination is often used to issue a warning. In heraldry, yellow indicates honor and loyalty. Later the meaning of yellow was connected with cowardice.

Use yellow to evoke pleasant, cheerful feelings. You can choose yellow to promote children's products and items related to leisure. Yellow is very effective for attracting attention, so use it to highlight the most important elements of your design. Men usually perceive yellow as a very lighthearted, 'childish' color, so it is not recommended to use yellow when selling prestigious, expensive products to men – nobody will buy a yellow business suit or a yellow Mercedes. Yellow is an unstable and spontaneous color, so avoid using yellow if you want to suggest stability and safety. Light yellow tends to disappear into white, so it usually needs a dark color to highlight it. Shades of yellow are visually unappealing because they loose cheerfulness and become dingy.

Dull (dingy) yellow represents caution, decay, sickness, and jealousy.

You can use blue to promote products and services related to cleanliness (water purification filters, cleaning liquids, vodka), air and sky (airlines, airports, air conditioners), water and sea (sea voyages, mineral water). As opposed to emotionally warm colors like red, orange, and yellow; blue is linked to consciousness and intellect. Use blue to suggest precision when promoting high-tech products.

Blue is a masculine color; according to studies, it is highly accepted among males. Dark blue is associated with depth, expertise, and stability; it is a preferred color for corporate America.

White is an appropriate color for charitable organizations; angels are usually imagined wearing white clothes. White is associated with hospitals, doctors, and sterility, so you can use white to suggest safety when promoting medical products.

  Black

Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery.

Black is a mysterious color associated with fear and the unknown (black holes). It usually has a negative connotation (blacklist, black humor, 'black death'). Black denotes strength and authority; it is considered to be a very formal, elegant, and prestigious color (black tie, black Mercedes). In heraldry, black is the symbol of grief.

Black gives the feeling of perspective and depth, but a black background diminishes readability. A black suit or dress can make you look thinner. When designing for a gallery of art or photography, you can use a black or gray background to make the other colors stand out. Black contrasts well with bright colors. Combined with red or orange – other very powerful colors – black gives a very aggressive color scheme.

The Color Pink

 This color produces a sedative like affect.  It is commonly used in prisons to make prisoners less aggressive and anxious.  Not all prisons have pink walls, they are mostly in cells where prisoners are for a short period of time to calm them down.  It has also been used in Private Mental Institutions where the complete decor is pink or it's sister colors.  Baby girls wear pink as a sign of femininity and gender but it also works well as the color of the nursery for it's calming effect.  Maybe that's why I have never seen a pink gym and why men that wear pink appear somewhat harmless.  Have you ever seen someone rob a convenient store wearing a pink polo

Scarlet

The color scarlet, mother of the red family. This color shows the emotion of Desire, Friendly Composition and a Believable Personality. Dramatic yet warm like the Christmas Holiday. I would wear this color in court. lol 

Bright Red

Bright Red is Dangerous, Exciting and loud. Red is a color of Battle and warns of Danger. I would wear red in the Boxing Ring, maybe somewhere in a Red Formal that you would definately wanted to be looked at twice. 

Coral

Coral represents Wild, fiery and Explosive. This mix of red and yellow appears to be out of control and very noticable. Standing Out in A Crowd. With these attribultes, I wouln't wear this color if i was spying on my spouse. 

Orange

 Simply known as a color for hazards.  Road signs, detours.   This color is often used on many Road Construction Websites.  I'd wear that color when I met my daughter's first boyfriend.  Hazard Ahead! 

Amber

More of an earthy tone of orange, it's mellow. Comfortable yet distinctive. It is also the color of very expensive perfumes. I can imagine a nice Amber colored sweather during the cool days of Autumn.

Gold

The color gold portrays and enhances Joy and sunny feelings.  It is also associated with power and age.  That is why my grandmother's living room decor is gold, all this time I thought she was reverting back to the seventies.

Yellow

 Yellow is sharp and anxious.  It can appear startling and the overuse of yellow can make the viewer uneasy.  Although I thought it was a neutral color for babies, wrong.  I would add a bunch of yellow pillows and flowers to my living room when unwanted guests were about to arrive. 

Lime

 Lime sets your mood as clean, fresh, even naive.  It is a youthful color resembling the sprouts of a new plant.  I would put this color in my guest bedroom, or wear it to meet the "the parents" for the first time.

Leaf Green

 Leaf Green appears healthy, natural and secure.  Green is a symbol of life.  Full of Self Confidence.  What a great color to wear to an interview. Not a Leaf Green suit but an accent such as a tie, scarf or handbag. 

Sea Green

 Sea Green reflects Maturity.  It is also strong and restless, like a mature forest of  the evergreen trees or the depths of the sea. I would wear that everyday! Good accent color for office or study.

Emerald

 Emerald is Brilliant, Expensive and External.  It is precious as the jewel but is also represents jealousy (The Emerald Eye Monster?) and is the color of poison.  I would just take the jewelry. 

Teal

Teal represents Primitive and Ancient. It is also intuitive and strong, free like an eagle. This color is often used in Southwest Design as Turquoise.  Teal is also used in handmade jewelry and Windcatchers. 

Cyan

 Cyan makes you feel and appear Analytical and Intelligent.  It is cold, direct and to the point.  A very Articulate color.  I have seen this color in a lot of Doctor's offices as wallpaper boarder. A good color for an Attorney's office. 

Sky Blue

 Sky Blue is calm, True and Honest.  It is a symbol of peace, tranquility and good will.  Sky Blue is the choice when picking out something "blue" for a bride.  (Also color of the UNC Tarhills, yeah!) 

Dark Blue

 Dark Blue is Moving, soulful and compassionate.  This blue has heart and emotion.  Great color to wear if you want to give that impression.  

Violet

 Violet reflects serioiusness. It is thoughtful and Reflective.  Violet is a balance between red and blue which represents mediative, soul searching thought.  I good color on your screen saver when you have a writers block!

Purple

 Last but not least, Purple, my favorite color since childhood.  It represents Grand, Royal and Majestic.  It suggests excitement.  In the Western Society, it was considered to be the color of Royalty.

Image File List

IFL (Image File List) is an ASCII file that lists other single-frame bitmap files to be used for each rendered frame.

There are various ways to animate bitmaps in 3ds max. You can use FLC files, AVI files, MOV files, or you can use incrementally numbered static image files.

When you assign an animated bitmap for any purpose and render it, the bitmap steps through each frame of its animation while each frame of the scene is rendered, resulting in an animated map.

For example, if you assign a 10-frame flic of a blinking red "Danger" sign as a texture map, apply the material to a cube, and then render a 30-frame animation, the cube displays the blinking red Danger animation three times.

The .ifl file is an ASCII file containing a list of the bitmap files to be used with each frame. You can append an optional numeric argument to each file name to specify the number of frames of rendered animation on which it is used. For example:

     ; Anything after a semicolon is a comment, and is ignored.

     sand.tga 20

     pebble.tga 40

     stone.tif 20

     boulder.tif 20

The IFL file listed above specifies sand.tga to be used for the first 20 frames, pebble.tga to be used for the next 40 frames, stone.tif to be used for 20 frames, and boulder.tif to be used for 20 frames.

Specify only the file names in your IFL files. The file paths are derived from the map paths established in your preferences.

When you're in a bitmap-file-selector dialog, for example, when you are selecting a bitmap in the Material Editor or in Video Post, you can type in the unique prefix of a list of files and a wildcard to find its incrementally numbered set.

You can use both asterisk and ? characters in the wildcard to find exactly the set you're looking for. The file selector then becomes an IFL-file generator. It makes an IFL with the unique prefix and a .ifl extension and assigns it to that bitmap's slot. You can then open the IFL file with a text editor.
