These quotes from my Color Theory class:
- “Color is a basic need… Like fire and water, a raw material, indispensable to life.” – Fernand Leger
- “Color belongs to our being, maybe each one has his own.” – Le Corbusier

There was a book I had long ago called something like “The Enjoyment and Use of Color.” That is not exactly right, but it is how I remember it. The title (or my title) opened up the idea for me that I can just enjoy color. Color does not need to be doing something (like matching a swatch, filling in space, or being color with a purpose) – color doesn’t have to be the right or wrong color – color can just be color and I can enjoy it. Color theory is essential for artists, but the enjoyment of color is a lifelong pleasure! Enjoy!
