Week 6
The Feeling of Color is an interactive website exploring 100 colors and their possible emotional associations. Each color includes an English feeling label, a name, and a HEX code. The collection can be explored through three maps: taxonomy groups colors into families; morphology organizes them by lightness and saturation; typology connects recurring feeling patterns across different colors. Inspired by Graf1x’s color psychology references, the project expands broad associations into proposed shade–feeling pairings. These are design interpretations rather than universal psychological facts. The collection provides a starting point for personal observations and asks how context, memory, and classification shape the meanings we give to colors.
