Some Cool Things About Color

Thinking about color and what it means...

This will be important when my group decides on LEDs to incorporate into our devices (especially depending on the level that the devices are located in the library)

My current thought is:

Level 1= "loudest" level= yellow LED
Level 2= "less sound allowance"= orange LED
Level 3= "least sound allowance"= red LED

Yellow is a color of awareness, thinking about a stop light it warns drivers to slow down. In this case it will make students aware of their noise level.

Orange is a combination of yellow and red, therefore it makes sense that it would be used in the devices on floor 2 of the library to indicate a greater importance of silence for that environment.

Red could be effectively used on level 3 of the library, the quiet level, because it is greatly associated with the idea of "warning" or "stop" (as with a traffic light or stop sign).
