Colour Research
Colour psychology dates back to 1910 where in Wolfgang von Goethe’s publication, “Theory of Colours” he imagined that there were “plus-colours” and “minus-colours.” Plus colour (yellow, yellow-red, and red-yellow), were colours that uplifted the spirit, and minus colours (blue, red-blue, and blue-red), did the opposite.

So, I just did what was in my comfort zone: cats!! Which fits into my Layered Worlds project because in my own…
