Color Blind
Bob (who handles our decorative lighting) came into my office having some questions about the color lighting I had requested for one of my weddings this weekend. This was also a perfect opportunity to discuss the lighting from the wedding show last weekend. I had requested this blush color up-lighting (yet again) and this is what I got:
Although this looks VERY pretty, this would not be my perception of "blush". To me this is more of a magenta or violet. With this magenta/violet up-lighting it gives the look a more "platinum" feel where I was hoping to take such a bold linen and simplify it...like how it is done here.
If only I had made sure that "blush" meant the same thing to both of us!
Now don't get me wrong, I still loved my table and thought it was beautiful...it just wasn't EXACTLY what I had envisioned!
That being said, I definitely needed to get the color "blush" correct for this weekends wedding. Soooo...when we were talking this morning and I showed him this image and he replied with...."oh, so you meat peach, not blush"
Perception is everything!
Next time I will be sure to backup my description with an image to ensure there is no confusion!
CLEARLY... men and women see color in two totally different ways!
