Colorblindness affects 1 in 12 males and 1 in 200 females in the United States. It can be a useful detour to other paths to creative collaboration.
Quintin Tate knows that as an interior designer, it’s his job to see things from the perspective of his client. That guiding force — to put the vision of the client first — was recently put to the test when, 10 minutes into a consultation for a sunroom, Tate’s client described the magenta-based color palette before him as “brown and green.”
Colorblindness affects 1 in 12 males and 1 in 200 females in the United States, though as one very famous viral dress can attest, color is subjective even for those without a diagnosis. Aging eyes see color differently. Language, commerce and culture layer meaning on color. One company labels the paint chip lake blue, another deems it denim. There are as many reasons to look beyond color in home design as there are shades of pink polish at a nail salon.
Toronto-based interior designer Michael London knows that black can read as eerie or too masculine, but he encourages homeowners to not shy away from using it as a focal piece. He did just that with the free-standing fireplace in a colorblind client’s home. He also likes it as a strong supporting character that helps other elements shine, whether it’s a black floor topped with a colorful rug or the veins and lines of a marble kitchen island.
London also considers smell and sound, prescribing scents and soundtracks for all his clients. In his own office, clients arrive to hear the crackle of a fireplace and his curated office soundtrack. For rooms where you entertain, soundtracks are crucial, London says, as they give a foundational vibe the party can build upon.Patterns pack a visual punch equally powerful to color.
In his colorblind client’s bathroom, London constructed a pattern playground with flower petals in a painting harmonizing with the shapes of the room’s modern chandelier. The abstract petals in the painting also vibe with a row of the flowers lined up on a ledge above the tub.Shapes speak volumes throughout the home of London’s colorblind client and in the designer’s own office. Curvy couches soften more angular features and give a sense of serpentine movement.
Neutrals offer a quick solution to the paralysis often associated with home projects of any scale, whether you can see color or not. “Sometimes you don’t want to take that risk, or maybe there’s a lot of that going on in your life,” Kittelstad says. “Neutral choices can keep it simple. There’s no denying that.
