Having taught in Art College for 15 years as well as exhibiting and having paintings displayed in public collections in the UK, I read with great interest the article recently submitted by Charlene Rashkow titled “Color and its Influence on Marketability.” As an artist, I revel in color and its power and only have to sit in front of a Monet to realize the powerful emotional tug color can have. This very power makes the misuse of color an abuse to the viewer, which means that professional designers are often guilty of color misapplication.
