"A beautiful color on a white background says nothing. It is in context that it reveals its true power."

In design, I learned very early that a color placed alone on white always looks purer, more accurate, almost perfect. But this is only an illusion. As soon as you put it next to other colors, in an interface, on a page, beside a piece of text, it shifts: it can fade, clash, dominate, or finally find its place. This idea goes far beyond design. A skill, an idea, a person, a product, all of these can seem brilliant in isolation and turn out to be worthless once exposed to a real context. That is why I am wary of demonstrations made in a vacuum, perfect prototypes in their bubble, promises made out of the ground. What truly interests me is to see how something behaves among the rest. The true power of a color, like that of a choice or a decision, is never measured on a white background, but in the noise of the world around it.
