Color, like sound and smell, has the power to strengthen the design and evoke a mood. Pastel colors are calming, and bright vivid colors can be stimulating and invigorating. Light can have stunning effects on color; back-lighting ornamental grasses can brighten their rusty fronds in the fall with a golden glaze. An orange splash or red peeking from above can lead the eye to a special place. Repeating patterns of color can strengthen walkway direction; massing color can act as the principal landscape feature. Sprinkling dots and sprays of color may evoke a bit of garden mystique. Visualizing color and its seasonal changes is an element of design that frustrates many.
