Hot and cold

March 11, 2008

This American Eagle golf shirt is another example of warm and cool contrast—warm tones of red-violet punctuated by a stripe of cool light blue-green. The stripe is such a break from the other tones that your eye immediately goes to it and the cool hue has a sort of soothing effect. Also an example of contrast of proportion: the blue colour wouldn’t be nearly so interesting if it were used throughout the shirt.
