Biomimetic Chromatics, Color in Nature and its Application to Design.

Adolfo A. Cervantes

Abstract

This article is the result of a research linked to teaching of the basic principles of design in the education of students in the first two first three months academic periods of UAM-A design careers.
From the observation of how color manifests itself in living organisms, these chromatic proposals are alternatives that are pleasant for human perception.
By carrying out an analysis and correct application, the designer acquires a very wide range to diversify the criteria of chromatic application in his projects, be it architectural projects of industrial or graphic design, interior and wardrobe design etc.
