Color in Design: The Art and Impact of Color

Laissez les bons temps rouler! People in Louisiana and throughout the country celebrate Mardi Gras, which culminates on Fat Tuesday, February 17th. The colors of tradition - vibrant purple, green, and gold. These colors are more than festive decoration—they carry meaning. In many ways, Mardi Gras is a masterclass in the power of color, something we understand deeply as architects and interior designers; color is never an afterthought. It is a strategic design tool, carefully selected to influence mood, behavior, and experience.
