Goethe's Colour Triangle




Goethe found he prefered to arrange colour in the form of a triangle. It is arranged in some ways like the colour circle but I agree with Johann, the the triangle is good because you can isolate the groups more easily. I'm not sure if I agree with the names of each of the groupings - but it is easy to see the colour groups. How can yellow, orange and green be called 'serene' for goodness sake?! I find my taste goes to the 'serious', melancholic' and 'mighty', whatever the latter means.

  1. Love the commentary! It's a well done triangle too. Thought I would share with folks Goethe's book: https://theoryofcolor.org/Theory+of+Colours its all available online for those who are so inclined.

  2. Goethe’s color triangle shows how shades can be grouped for easier understanding, though the names he used may not resonate with everyone’s taste. Colors often reflect moods and emotions differently for each person.
