Can Color Change The Way We See Images?

In class we discussed how colors can change the way we perceive a photo. We were asked to test this out by choosing one image, then surrounding it in three different colors and to note how the colors surrounding the image shape the way we see it.

The photo I chose for this activity was:

A photo of a girl holding a crystal ball, surrounded by fairy lights.

I then chose purple, brown and red as my surrounding colors for this experiment. I accompanied the purple and red backgrounds with yellow text, and the brown with white text.

A photo of a girl placed on a purple border. The text to the right of the photo is yellow and says "BRIANNA".
Purple/Yellow Version

The purple gives the photo a calming, yet playful tone. It brings the attention to the lights surrounding the subject of the photo. And although purple and yellow are complementary colors, the yellow text does not stand out against the purple background.

Brown/White Version

This shade of brown complements the photo. The light brown brings to the person in the photo, highlighting the underlying tones. The white text also stands out against the background.

Red/Yellow Version

The red brings out the shadows of the photo. I also chose yellow for the text because it is an analogous color to red. The text definitely stands out.
