Dusk Bands

No. 4 of 20 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeTwelve horizontal bands of colour run from deep blue at the top through plum and red to pale gold at the horizon. On the dark plain below, four short bars of the same colours narrow towards the viewer.

What it meansA gradient broken into steps, like reading the sky one colour at a time. The bars on the ground are the dusk reflected back.

Where it worksMade for a hallway or a dining room lit in the evening. It reads well across a room.
