Open colour: description, colour codes, shades and mixing tips

Open stage, also known as open stage, is a stage design and layout concept where the boundaries between audience and actors are blurred, allowing the audience to engage more directly with the story and its characters. This form is often used in performances that aim to encourage more active audience participation or where the aim is to enhance the holistic experience and sense of reality. In an open stage, there are no or minimal sets and actors often move among the audience, which helps audience members to feel as if they are part of the story.

This approach allows the plays to be more flexible to different venues and spaces, as they require less technical equipment and preparation. Open colour can be an ideal choice for smaller, intimate performances or productions that emphasise human emotion and powerful portrayals of artistic expression. This type of stage facilitates direct interaction between audience and actors, which can result in a deeper and more personal theatrical experience.

What is the colour of the open colour?

In architecture and interior design, open colour is a neutral, light shade that is inviting and calming. It usually includes light white, off-white or other pale pastel colours.

What determines the colour of the open colour?

The colour of the open colour depends on a number of factors, including the composition of the pigments in the paint, ambient light, the condition of the materials on the surface, and the method of application and thickness of the layers. The substrate and the painting technique also affect the final colour, which can vary under different lighting conditions.

How is open colour colour mixing possible?

When mixing the open colour, the pigments of the different colours are not mixed on the palette beforehand, but applied directly to the painted surface. In this way the colours are visually blended in the eye of the beholder, also known as optical blending. This technique is often used in Impressionist painting, where the juxtaposition of different patches of colour creates a vibrant, vivid effect.
