Claims (2)

claim

The colors that arise from the fundamental process are often highly unexpected.
supports
General observation from the case studies (Sala, Sarlo, Kaiser) that the right color surprises the maker.
The actual colors must be worked out in the place itself, under the influence of nearby and surrounding color and light.
supports
Practical principle that color decisions cannot be made on paper or in a store; they require on-site unfolding.
