Teresa Slye, director of the Interior Design Program at Gallatin College, will discuss how color and light—two intertwined elements of design—influence how we feel in our built environment. Color is important for establishing a mood, creating comfort and communicating personality. But without light, color diminishes. Because artificial light controls so many aspects of color, lighting a space is much more than flipping a switch. Understanding the effect of different lighting types is key. This talk looks at how our perception of color changes as we age, the cost of poor design, current trends in color and lighting, automation in lighting, and the effects of conservation on lighting options.
