If you asked someone to imagine the color red, they will most likely imagine a different color from you as stated from Josef Albers' Interaction of Color. Even if we all have seen the same COCA-COLA red sign, our own vision of the COCA-COLA sign would be different from the next person to me imagines.
When it comes to digital photography or black and white film, color of course plays a big role. Whether you're trying to bring more contrast into the photo, or get rid of a certain image, it all requires the usage of color.
Albers' state that in photography, the dark image tends to come out darker. While printing out a photo in the dark room, there are three main colors available in order to mess around (or change) the contrast. Those colors are YELLOW, MAGENTA, and CYAN. However, only Yellow and Magenta tend to be
usage. Those two tend to be the typical colors to create a great contrast between black and white in a photo.
Color plays a big part on staging your photography. If the picture is too black, it can either dramatized a photo (or ruin it).
The colors green, blue, and mauves are the introverted colors. Those colors can often give a different feel of reds and yellows in your pictures. However, colors like yellows, reds,oranges, and pinks can portray and energetic or lively picture. If you would like to have an example of this, imagine fruits such as cantalope. Apples, or bananas.
