Kelly DuByne, Designer, Speaker and Consultant spoke to our Club on Friday, August 31st.
Kelly has lived and worked in Lake Stevens for 24 years. She acquired a love for design as a child from influences of her architect father and brother. Kelly has a true passion for design and feels that our homes should be our sanctuary and reflection of our personalities. Colors are important in our lives.
First color is red...most diverse color which can create an individuals appetite. Hence, the reason that McDonald's exteriors are in the color red. Red can denote in and out quickly. Second is orange which is her favorite color because it shows affordability. Allows food to be complimentary and one of the hottest colors. Third is yellow which suggest joyful, outgoing and cheerful which is great for north facing rooms. Does any know why "school buses" are yellow? Because it is the first item or color that attracts our attention and is the fastest color that the eye sees. Fourth is blue which is a bit tricky which has a great undertone and maturity. Great color for politicians and campaign signs. Fifth is green which is harmonious and secure. Sixth is violet which is regal and at one time denoted wealth. Seventh is black which is formal and elegant. Next is white which is awesome suggesting purity and all of these form the colors on the wheel. Colors can impact campaign signs.
