Orpheus (color theory)

Orpheus is a color theory concept that explores how certain colors evoke emotional responses similar to music. Inspired by the Greek myth of Orpheus, who enchanted with his lyre, this theory suggests that some hues, like blues and greens, can create feelings of calm and harmony, much like a soothing melody. It emphasizes that colors are not just visual elements but can also influence mood and perception. Orpheus highlights the interconnectedness of color, emotion, and sensory experience, guiding designers and artists to choose palettes that resonate emotionally with viewers.
