The Secret Cries of Color

This semester I did an art project for a show some friends of mine organized. Its theme was “Letters & Numbers.” My piece, the “The Secret Cries of Colors,” is about the letter/number combinations that determine colors on computers. We often talk about “warm” and “cool” colors and what they communicate, so I thought it would be fun to do a piece that explores this “language” of colors. The combination of numbers and letters spell out what look like angry or humorous cries, like “000fda” (which is a shade of blue).
