Features: White is the color with the highest brightness and the most expansive effect among all colors, giving a clean, pure, and holy impression. Black is very expressive; depending on the application technique, it can convey elegance or rationality, making people feel strong, serious, and noble. It appears quite substantial and heavy, leaving a vivid impression. If its strong characteristics are used skillfully, it can produce unexpected and stunning effects. The combination of black and white has always been popular in any era and is commonly used in stripes, checks, and other patterns. The names of these patterns often vary depending on the application techniques, resulting in a variety of effects. The fabric pattern with white background and black dots, or black background and white dots, is a traditional classic design. The round-dot pattern on the Turin boulevard gives a soft, full, and dynamic feeling. Through delicate pattern variations, they become rich in content and expression. Small dots are more simple compared to large dots, while large dots have a stronger sense of flow. From the psychological perspective of color perception, even the same color combination can evoke different feelings depending on the area. The same color changes in effect when it transitions from a small area to a large area, or vice versa. Additionally, when the area remains unchanged but the shape differs, the perception of color will also vary with the changes in shape.
